This is the school’s budget before financial aid. It is not a bill, the federal average net price, or your own aid offer.
About this budget
- The school calls these 2026–27 figures estimates. They can change when the school finalizes them.
- Source: Undergraduate Estimated Cost of Attendance 2026-27 (Binghamton Financial Aid) (Binghamton University, SUNY). Researched October 21, 2026; independently audited October 22, 2026.
Understand the five kinds of college costs
- Tuition & fees
- Instruction and required college fees; living costs are additional unless explicitly included.
- Attendance budget
- College charges plus estimated living, books, travel and other included expenses, before aid.
- Average annual cost after grants & scholarships
- A historical average after federal, state/local and college grant aid for a specified federal-aid population. Outside private scholarships are not automatically deducted; loans and work-study are not discounts.
- Your net cost
- Your entered attendance cost minus selected grants and scholarships. Loans and work-study remain funding sources.
- Borrowing
- Debt to repay, not a discount. Work-study is earned over time, not an upfront bill reduction.
Average annual cost after grants & scholarships · in-state
$20,907
2024–25
Includes applicable federal, state/local and college grants and scholarships. First-time, full-time in-state students receiving federal financial aid form the reporting population. The attendance budget includes estimated living expenses. Your actual cost may differ.
About this number: Average annual cost after grants & scholarships · in-state
Federal average net price subtracts qualifying federal, state/local and institutional grants and scholarships from the source-defined attendance budget. Federal aid defines the reporting population, not the only aid deducted; some included students receive federal loans or work-study but no grants. This is a historical average, not a personalized award. Outside private scholarships are not automatically deducted. The public-college population pays in-state tuition. It is not a personal offer; loans and work-study are not discounts.

Binghamton University–SUNY — SAT/ACT policy
Test-optional
Corroborated for fall 2027 · not confirmed on the college page
Binghamton states it is test optional, so standardized test scores are not required for first-year applicants.
Fall 2027 · first-year domestic applicant. The college's page does not name the entry year; the Common App 2026-2027 grid lists the same category, so ICP treats this as the current policy. Confirm your program and circumstances.
Corroborated, not directly confirmed. The college’s page states this policy but does not name the entry year. The Common App’s 2026–27 grid lists the same category, so this is very likely current. Confirm with the college before you rely on it.
Common App requirements grid · 2026–27
Listed as: Tests never required for first-year U.S. applicants.
This is the Common App’s own category. “Tests never required” does not say whether a college is test-optional or test-free, and “always required” does not say which tests count. Read the college’s page for details.
Conditions to check
- Tests the page names: SAT, ACT.
If you submit scores
- Applicants indicate on the application whether they want SAT/ACT scores included in review
Official source checked 2026-10-28. Policies can change.
Different applicant situation?
SAT/ACT and English proficiency are different requirements. Program, recruitment and scholarship rules may need separate confirmation.
Sources & research
Institutional Common Data Sets and federal statistics have different reporting periods and populations. Research snapshot: October 16–19, 2026. Missing values can reflect nonreporting, conflict, ambiguity or incomplete review; they are never zero. Four-year earnings for colleges are withheld because of a documented October 15, 2026 correction to the federal source.
