General Information
NOTE: The tuition deposit, which is applied to the payment of tuition, is nonrefundable.
An unused tuition deposit may be applied to the payment of tuition for a one-year period which will include
the semester for which the tuition deposit was made. Payment of full-time tuition permits a student to register
for 12-19 credit hours of course work in a semester. Special permission must be obtained from the Executive
Dean in order to register for more than 19 credits in any semester. Each request is evaluated on the basis of
its merit, including the student’s prior academic records, and his/her commitments other than college.
Tuition for the summer, wintersession and other special sessions is based on the part-time tuition rate of
$199.00 per credit for Suffolk residents and $398.00 per credit for non-residents. Other fees are applicable
to the sessions as appropriate. The level of tuition rates for non-credit courses is, in general, similar for-credit
course charges.
The following schedule of tuition and fees for Suffolk County Community College is in effect through the

Tuition and fees must be paid at the time of registration. In the event a course is canceled, tuition and
