Affirming Enrollment / Accepting Financial Responsibility Policy

Policy Statement

As per the guidance from the New York State Office of the Attorney General, all SUNY schools are advised to require students to affirm enrollment and accept financial responsibility. 

Each semester, students must indicate their commitment to their registered schedule for the upcoming term. Students who fail to complete the Affirming Enrollment process will be subject to cancellation of their course registration in order to maximize seating space in those classes for other students. Accepting Financial Responsibility represents the student’s agreement that they are solely responsible for payment of all charges associated with their student account. The student is also acknowledging their agreement to receive all billing statements electronically (“eBills”) via their Brockport email address, as well as their understanding that they will not receive a paper billing statement.

Purpose/Scope

The purpose of the Affirming Enrollment / Accepting Financial Responsibility Policy is to allow students to complete the registration process, and attest to the University their understanding and agreement that they are solely responsible for paying all assessed tuition, fees and other associated costs of attending during a specific academic term, in accordance with published payment deadlines. 

Applicability

This policy applies to all students.
