Transportation, Housing Accommodations During Breaks & Basic Needs

Starting Fall 2021, the Clinical Practice and Partnerships Office will work closely with the Financial Aid Office and Student Accounts Office to have an estimated travel expense included as part of the cost of attendance for all students who are completing a clinical experience or applied learning experience. Please make sure you keep your address updated with the Clinical Practice and Partnerships Office at cppoffice@oswego.edu.

• Centro Bus Routes
