SUNY Canton News

It’s not too late to begin a hands-on education at SUNY Canton this Fall.

SUNY Canton’s admissions counselors are now conducting instant admissions, enabling prospective students who have not yet applied to begin college this fall.

“Instant admission sessions eliminate the processing time and waiting,” said Director of Admissions Jonathan D. Kent. “With the proper forms, we are able to make a decision within minutes of reviewing an application.”

Instant admissions are underway and will run through the first day of classes on Tuesday, August 28, at SUNY Canton.

For prospective students to fully complete the admission process, they should bring an official high school transcript or official GED test scores, a check or money order for their $40 application fee, and a completed application. If students have previously attended college, they should also bring official transcripts.

SUNY Canton financial aid counselors are also available to help students and their parents and can explain deferred tuition payment options. Potential students applying for financial aid should bring with them a completed Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) form, which can be completed online at www.fafsa.ed.gov.

Appointments are not necessary, but strongly recommended to avoid wait time. Call 315-386-7123/ 800-388-7123 to schedule an appointment. The Admissions Office is located in French Hall and is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. Extended hours are available by appointment.

Applications to attend SUNY Canton this fall are up nearly 20 percent from last year and almost 30 percent from five years ago. Acceptances to the College are up by similar percentages.

“We’re on a pace right now to receive the largest number of applications in the college’s history,” said Vice President for Advancement Dave Gerlach. “Combined with a large number of continuing students, we’re projecting one of the highest enrollment years in the history of the college this fall.”

SUNY Canton began the 2006-07 academic year with just over 2,600 students, the fourth largest number in the college’s 100-year history and the highest since 1990-91.

More than 2,300 applications have been received to date, up by more than 350 from last year and an increase of more than 500 from five years ago. SUNY Canton has surpassed 3,300 applications just twice in college history.

Final Spring Open House is April 21

SUNY Canton will offer this academic year’s final Open House for prospective students and their families on Saturday, April 21.

Although the Open House is free, reservations are required through the Admissions Office at 1-800-388-7123 or 315-386-7123. Online reservations can also be made at www.canton.edu.

Following a 9 a.m. registration, participants will learn about the financial aid and admissions process and take a tour of campus. Later, students meet with faculty about SUNY Canton’s academic programs.

Participants will also have lunch, free of charge, in Chaney Dining Center, which serves the students that live in SUNY Canton’s residence halls.

Prospective students that are unable to attend Saturday’s Open House should call or email the Admissions Office for an individual appointment.
