Information for Queensbury Branch Campus Students

Dear Visitor,

Hello and welcome to SUNY Plattsburgh at Queensbury. My name is Stephen Danna and I serve as dean at the campus. We are a SUNY-designated branch campus and part of State University of New York at Plattsburgh.

Our motto, “You don’t have to leave to go far” rings true for North Country residents. SUNY Plattsburgh at Queensbury is located on the SUNY Adirondack campus and offers students opportunities to complete their bachelor’s degrees in business administration, criminal justice, nursing or psychology. We also offer graduate programs in education and education leadership, and we constantly seek ways to increase our program offerings. Besides college programs, SUNY Plattsburgh at Queensbury organizes and hosts regional conferences on topics ranging from climate change to poverty.

Whether you are an existing SUNY Plattsburgh at Queensbury student or someone who has either been accepted, or is considering SUNY Plattsburgh at Queensbury, welcome. Welcome to a special campus where student services and advisement are done carefully and personally, where students get to know their professors and office staff well and where opportunities arise through the important relationships developed among classmates, faculty, and staff.

When To Expect Your Bill

We email a bill announcement for each semester of your enrollment, and instruct you to login to MyPlattsburgh to view your bill, select your options, and confirm your enrollment. For example, we start to email bill announcements for the fall semester in early July with a due date in early August. We start to email bills for the spring semester in late November with a due date in mid-December. Once you receive an email bill announcement, you have until the due date to select your options, confirm your enrollment, and make payment in full. You normally have about three weeks between the date you receive the bill and its due date.

Visit MyPlattsburgh to view your bill, select your options, and accept your charges.

What You Will See In Your Bill

Your bill includes optional fees on it such as the parking, fitness center, and green fee among others. Failure to accept charges or pay the bill in full by the due date may result in administrative fees, late fees, and holds. Instructions accompany each bill.

How Your Bill Is Calculated

Financial aid is deducted from the bill as long as you have completed all of the steps that are required for us to pay the aid to your account. If there appears to be aid "missing" from your bill, check whether you have any financial aid requirements on MyPlattsburgh or contact our office. If you need a loan to help pay for college, the federal student loans that we offered you in your award letter are generally the least expensive loan option.

Options for Help In Paying Your Bill

Students who require additional assistance to cover their bill or educations expenses may wish to consider a payment plan, Parent PLUS Loan, or alternative student loan. A Parent PLUS loan is generally less expensive than an alternative loan. We encourage you to explore all other available resources before applying for an alternative loan.
