You can visit a class, attend a student panel, have lunch on campus, take a full campus tour, or attend an academic presentation to find out more about the majors you’re interested in. Schedule your visit today!
Academics
Whether you know what you want to study—or you’re ready to explore and find out—Oneonta has plenty of options and lots of support to help you succeed. Once you’ve confirmed your enrollment by paying your deposit, you can complete the course pre-registration survey (available in your Applicant Status Page) to provide information about courses that interest you. We will use the information you provide to create a fall course schedule for you.
Living on Campus
From leadership opportunities to lifelong friends, living on campus will be a big part of your Oneonta experience. With a whole team to welcome you and all kinds of ways to get involved, you’ll feel at home right away. All students living on campus have the Resident Dining Plan, which includes unlimited dining hall access, plus retail dining dollars that can be used at our on-campus coffee shops and marketplace.
Orientation
You will be supported during your transition to campus through orientation sessions, peer mentoring and other programming! All new students are required to participate in orientation.
Paying for College
We understand that applying for financial aid can be a challenge, and we’re here to help! Your first step is to submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA Code – 002847; TAP Code – 0930) You’ll receive a financial aid eAward notification and instructions on how to access your award information through myOneonta. We offer a three-payment plan for families who prefer to spread out payments. Questions? Contact us at finaid@oneonta.edu
