Campus housing

Living on campus is a privilege that comes with responsibilities. We want the Residence Hall to remain a safe, welcoming place for all students, so the the Office of Residence Life will:

• Create an atmosphere conducive to learning, provide referral to appropriate academic support services and provide and assist in the academic advising process in the Residence Hall.
• Implement and foster a comprehensive educational component supporting students by providing programming enhancing understanding of cultural, ethnic, gender, physical, racial, sexual orientation and religious differences.
• Create and maintain a residence hall community in which students take responsibility for comprehending and enriching their environment while respecting the rights and needs of others within the SUNY Adirondack community.
• Provide students with affordable and comfortable on-campus housing accommodations.
  Facilitate the adjustment and transition of new students to SUNY Adirondack through various programs (e.g., new student orientation).
• Provide a disciplinary structure promoting and encouraging student accountability and responsibility.
• Provide values-based educational programming to raise student awareness of social, emotional, mental and physical health, substance abuse and responsible sexual behavior.
• Stimulate and encourage student participation in campus and community organizations.
• Strengthen recruitment and selection procedures to attract a high-quality and diverse professional and para-professional staff.
• Provide a comprehensive training and a developmental program for professional and para-professional staff.
• Have professional staff stay current with trends in higher education by keeping pace with student development theory through publications, attendance at conferences and participation in professional organizations.
• Provide a comprehensive ongoing evaluation/assessment of the housing and residence life operation including its personnel, programs and procedures.

Certificate Of Residency 
To receive the lowest tuition rate, you must provide proof you are an in-state resident. (State Education Law mandates it.) A Certificate of Residence (COR) allows SUNY Adirondack to bill your home county for part of your tuition costs, which helps pay for your education and gets you the best rate

Take steps to reduce your bill and receive a room assignment:

• Check your financial aid
  •  Did you complete a FAFSA? If not, start the form now.
  •  Did you complete a NYS TAP application? If not, get started.
  •   If you already filed a FAFSA and applied for TAP, log into Banner to view your awards.
  •   We offer guidance on how to accept your awards.
• Consider loan options
  • Federal Direct Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS)
  • Military and/or National Service benefits

Note: Private education loans often require a credit-worthy co-signer
