Paying Your Fees & Understanding Your Student Bill

The Office of Student Accounts, 4th floor Raymond Hall, (telephone 315-267-2137) is responsible for student account billing. The student account is a reflection of tuition, fees, room, board, Bear Express and all payments, including student financial aid. You can view your student account 24/7 by logging into BearPaws.

Student Accounts offers a semester Time Payment Plan, which includes a 50% down payment. The resulting two quarterly payments will be automatically billed to the student. Please contact the Student Accounts Office for specific information regarding payments and the student account. Please note that while each student pays the same tuition at either the graduate or undergraduate level, students participating in initiative programs will be required to pay different fees and program costs from other students. This is especially true for students participating in the Master of Science in Education, General Professional Education, Korean Initiative Program. Please consult your program admission documents for further clarification.
