Tuition and Aid for Undergraduate Students

Elmira's tuition is one of the lowest tuition rates amongst regional private colleges. We also offer students a variety of financial aid options, including scholarships, grants, and work-study. Nearly 100% of students receive some form of financial aid.

Full-Time Tuition

Students who matriculate as a full-time undergraduate student pay the full-time tuition rate ($36,152 plus a $1,780 comprehensive fee). Dependent part-time students will pay $1,004 per credit hour. First-year students and upperclassmen enrolling in more than 18 credit hours during fall or winter, or more than 7.5 credit hours for the Spring term, will be billed $1,004 per credit hour in addition to the full-time tuition rate. Full-time students wishing to transfer to part-time status may be considered for the part-time tuition rate (as referred to below) following an absence from campus of at least one full calendar year.
