A brief description of notable policies or programs to make the institution accessible and affordable to low-income students:

As one of 64 campuses of the State University of New York, the college offers low, affordable tuition rates and a comprehensive set of student aid programs and services. As part of our overall institutional aid strategy, which also includes federal, state, and outside aid, the college seeks to minimize low-income students’ net price (total cost of attendance, minus all available non-loan aid) and student debt.

Additionally, SUNY Oneonta is the proud home of three college access and opportunity programs – EOP, ACE, and CAMP. Each program serves a different segment of our student population and all of the programs serve students from low-income backgrounds.


A brief description of notable policies or programs to support non-traditional students:

On SUNY campuses throughout the state you will find Educational Opportunity Programs (EOP) serving thousands of students. EOP is designed to admit students who do not meet the traditional standards for admissions but possess the desire, potential and talent to earn a college degree. Students admitted through EOP must demonstrate both financial and academic disadvantages.

At Oneonta, a student admitted through EOP, ACE (Access to College Excellence), or CAMP (College Assistance Migrant Program) receives individualized attention and services throughout their college career as a member of AOP (Access and Opportunity Programs). AOP professionals take pride in assisting students academically, professionally, socially, and personally to become competitive and successful in a demanding and diverse society.
