Your earnings as a student employee are subject to all federal and state taxes so you must complete federal and New York State tax withholding forms (IT-2104 or an IT-2104-E) in order to be paid.

As a result, you are required to complete an I‐9 form and present certain documents that will satisfy these requirements no later than three days after you are hired. Your driver license, Social Security card and birth certificate may be required for proof. According to the ASC Office for International Students, international students can work 20 hours per week when classes are in session. By immigration regulations, international students may not work off-campus. International students must go to the International Education Office to have their I‐20 endorsed for on-campus employment and must apply for a social security card before they start working.

It is important to remember that communication is the key to an effective roommate relationship.  If you and your roommate take the time to discuss any problems and work together to solve those problems, then you are off to a good start.  However, sometimes difficulties may arise that need more attention.  If this type of situation does occur, please seek assistance from your resident assistant (RA) or residence director (RD).  Your RA and RD are trained to assist you and your roommate to solve any problems you may be having.

You will be asked to provide medical documentation to our Office of Health Services.  If approved, and space is available, we will do our best to provide you with appropriate accommodations.  Please be aware that there is an additional charge for single room accommodations.

Contact Admissions at (607) 587-4215 or 1-800-4-ALFRED.

The Campus Spending Account allows you to make purchases at any campus location or Campus Partner without having to carry cash.

An endowment preserves capital, overcomes inflation, and provides long-term, reliable income to the College. For example, a $100,000 scholarship gift might be awarded to deserving students at $5,000 per year - meaning the scholarship fund will be depleted in 20 years. But if that $100,000 were used to establish an endowment, the gift would be invested and a portion of the earnings used to award scholarships. Another portion would be used to increase the principal and offset investment costs. The endowment would therefore continue to grow over time, supporting scholarships for as long as the College exists.

Like most other public universities, Alfred State College receives just a fraction of its revenues directly from state government. Federal and state dollars are sometimes allocated to specific projects or infrastructure needs. Tuition, which has failed to keep pace with inflation over the past decade, accounts for a small percentage of College revenues.

Alfred State College must rely on private donors to support the rest - everything from scholarships to faculty hiring and retention to equipment for classrooms and laboratories. When new buildings are built, state funds pay for the actual cost of construction - but not for the furnishings needed to bring those spaces to life. Gifts and endowments also enable a college to weather the inevitable "lean years," when budget cuts and competing priorities result in greater challenges for public institutions.

The campus is actively upgrading the number of data ports available in student dorm rooms.  When students connect their computer to the network, they will also have high-speed Internet access.
