One-Hop Shop - Student Accounts

The responsibility of the Student Accounts Office is the collection and record maintenance of monies owed SUNY Canton, including residence hall operations and food service. Specific responsibilities are as follows:

Billing

  1. Credit Courses
    Student bills are prepared by the Student Accounts Office. The basic contents of the bill consists of student name, student number, itemized charges, total charges, itemized financial aid credits/deposits, and total financial aid credits. Approximately eight weeks prior to registration, bills are mailed to incoming and returning students. They have the option of prepaying or paying late, which includes a $40 late payment fee and a $40 late registration fee, amendable by approval of SUNY Administration.
  2. Non-Credit Courses
    Student applications are prepared by the CREST Center. The basic content of the application is student name, student address, name and/or code of course, date of birth, email address, and phone number. The responsibility of the CREST Center is to collect the payments, by either check or directing them to the online portal, and provide a receipt (if payment is by check). The Student Accounts Office manages the payments depositing them in the appropriate IFR account.

Deposits

  1. Admission Deposits
    Upon acceptance to the School or a change in curriculum, the Admissions Office notifies the student that a $100 admission deposit ($50 for EOP students) must be paid usually within 30 days from the date of the acceptance letter. The deposit may be mailed, paid in person at the Student Service Center, or paid using the “online” payment feature on the College’s webpage. These deposits are applied as a payment to the student’s bill for admitted students. If the student does not attend, they must request to have their deposit returned to them. Non-requested return of deposits will be forfeited.
  2. Residence Hall Deposit
    All incoming and returning students are required to abide by the mandatory residence policy. Those requesting exception from this policy must complete the Release Request Form, which is forwarded to the Director of Residence Life for action.After notification of acceptance, the Admissions Office sends out welcome packages. The $105 housing deposit is to be returned with the card to the Student Service Center. The payment of the housing deposit insures a student will have room accommodations for the upcoming semester. These deposits are applied as payments on the student bill. Once the deposit has been paid, the student must fill out the On-Campus Housing Form on UCanWeb.

    Returning students are notified in March by the Housing Office as to the Fall reservation process. An advance housing deposit of $105 ($55 for EOP students) must be paid to reserve a room for the Fall semester. The deposits are processed by the Student Accounts Office. These deposits are applied as a payment on the Fall student bill.

  3. Waivers
    Should a student feel that financial circumstances are such that payment of the admission deposit and/or dormitory deposit cannot be made, the student may request a waiver. The Admissions Office will take requests for the Admissions and Housing Deposit Waivers. The Housing Waiver will be forwarded to the Residence Life Office for freshman. A financial aid application must be on file before a waiver may be granted.
