Restrictions

SUNY Empire cannot accept third-party sponsorship if it is contingent upon a specific grade or course completion

Payment

For deferred charges, SUNY Empire will invoice sponsors once students incur full tuition and fee liability to limit changes that could impact the amount due. Sponsors will be billed for incurred liability for students who withdraw. Payment is expected within 30 days of the invoice date. SUNY Empire accepts checks and credit cards. Credit card payment can be made by calling Student Accounts at 518-587-2100, ext. 2516.
