Description of Mandatory Fees

This is a mandatory fee for all students who are enrolled in at least one course on the main campus, including online courses. It supports the operational expenses of the Intercollegiate Athletic Program. For the Spring 2021 semester, the athletic fee is reduced by 25% of the authorized rate and:

• All winter sports (MW Basketball, MW Hockey and MW Track & Field) will be heavily engaged in providing practice opportunities to the student-athletes involved in these programs. These opportunities will begin virtually in January with an expectation to resume in-person when the campus opens in February. Practice sessions at that point will follow NCAA, New York state and campus safety guidelines which will focus on small group, skill based practice and conditioning activities.
• As of mid-November 2020, all spring sports (Baseball, Softball, MW Lacrosse and MW Track & Field) are expected to proceed with normal practice and competitive schedules. These teams will begin practice sessions in February and competitive games in late March or early April. The SUNYAC is currently working on finalizing these schedules.
• As of mid-November 2020, fall sports (MW Soccer, Volleyball, Tennis) are planning to conduct their spring non-traditional seasons during the spring semester. This involves weekly practice sessions and at least one competitive opportunity for each of these programs during the spring semester.
• Coaches will be providing both virtual and in-person (when permitted) workshops, academic support and ongoing mentoring to their student-athletes throughout the entire spring semester. Teams will also be engaged in safe, socially distanced community service activities.
• Coaches will remain heavily involved with the ongoing campus recruitment effort for prospective students.
• The IAB fee helps to support live streaming of all home contests. This is extremely important when it comes to recruitment and retention of student-athletes. Especially those who come from out-of-state or abroad.

Students who fall into any of the following categories, however, are exempt from this fee and can deduct it from their bills:

• Students registered in programs requiring that they be more than 35 miles away from the Plattsburgh campus all day, every day (such as student teaching, study abroad, internships and co-ops; branch campus students; and those students taking all independent study courses).
