All Syracuse EOC programs and services are tuition-free for students who qualify.
Eligibility is determined by several factors set by the State of New York. To qualify, you generally must:
- Be a New York State resident, or a recently approved refugee;
- Meet the annual income eligibility criteria established by New York State; and
- Possess a government-issued photo ID.
A TABE (Test of Adult Basic Education) or CLAS-E (Comprehensive Adult Student Assessment System — English) exam is required for entry to all programs. Because each situation is different, we encourage you to call our Admissions Office to confirm whether you qualify.
Next, review the Application Checklist to see exactly which documents to bring.
