Full-time students who are New York State residents will pay $2,400 per semester (plus fees). Part-time resident students will pay $200 per credit hour.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want our community to know that Hudson Valley is a safe, affordable, high-quality option, and a smart financial choice, especially right now,\u201d President Roger Ramsammy remarked.<\/p>\n \u201cAs we move the majority of our courses back on campus this fall, students can count on us to help them get ahead, with academic support programs and flexible enrollment options. For those looking to start a four-year degree, our courses are highly transferrable, and our health care, business and technology programs can give students the skills to jumpstart their careers. Overall, Hudson Valley offers students an incredible value,” Ramsammy noted.<\/p>\n “As a member of the Hudson Valley Community College Board of Trustees, I was pleased to once again to cast my vote in favor of the tuition freeze,” Rensselaer County Legislator Tom Grant added.<\/p>\n This spring, the college released its Fall 2021 semester schedule, which includes more than 2,000 course sections beginning Monday, Aug. 30. The majority of classes are scheduled to be held on campus in accordance with CDC, SUNY and NYS Department of Health COVID-19 guidelines. As it has for several decades, the college also will continue to offer a large number of courses in an online or remote learning format.<\/p>\n Holding the line on tuition is just the latest in a number of actions the college has taken over the past year that continue to make Hudson Valley more accessible to students.<\/p>\n In addition to freezing tuition for two straight academic years, the college assisted needy students with CARES Act funding and through the college Foundation\u2019s Student Emergency Fund. Nearly 2,000 E-gift cards for those experiencing food insecurity were handed out to students, and the college spent $200,000 on new laptops, software and security. This summer, the college is providing a full scholarship for high school students completing summer session courses as well as tuition-free \u201chead start\u201d workshops for those planning to start their college education this fall. College students taking summer session courses in June will be provided textbooks at no cost.<\/p>\n \u201cOur faculty and staff provide extraordinary instruction, opportunities and support to our students, and we\u2019re doing everything we can to keep college as affordable as possible this fall, \u201d Ramsammy said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Published:<\/strong>\u00a0Fri, 16 Jul 2021 11:55:47 +0000 by\u00a0d.gardner<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Record reported July 15 on the college’s decision to again forego a tuition increase.
