Fees and Rates

Registration Fee

A non-refundable registration fee of $50 per undergraduate or graduate course is required before non-degree seeking student enrollment. This fee is in addition to the course tuition fee. Instructions on paying the fee will be provided once registration is approved.

Registration fees are waived for IC alumni, IC retirees, Longview staff and residents, IC employees, and students receiving the IC tuition remission benefit. Registration fees do not apply to students enrolling at IC through an official Ithaca College exchange program such as the Ithaca College-Cornell University Exchange Program, or the Ithaca College Los Angeles Program.

Longview staff members are eligible to apply for Ithaca College Tuition Remission for taking courses for credit. Longview residents can audit courses through the College's partnership with Longview. For more information, visit our website.

Follow the steps below to access the tuition remission form:

In the summer, tuition remission benefits for undergraduate courses can only be applied to courses in which at least six tuition-paying students have enrolled. Traditionally, after HR has received the TR application, they must verify the number of students enrolled in the course no more than three days prior to the start of each summer session.

Non-degree seeking students have access to set up a payment plan through their HomerConnect accounts.There is a “setup payment plan” option through HomerConnect on the main menu under Student Records, Financial Aid and Residential Life. The payment plan fee is $25 for one semester. Based on the enrollment date, the term balance is divided into three equal auto debit monthly installments due on the 10th of each month. Contact Student Financial Services for payment pan enrollment deadlines.

Cooperating teachers registering as nondegree students should submit the tuition waiver form to the Office of Extended Studies at the time of registration.
