Admissions

Acceptance rate
71%
Applicants
13,031
Yield rate
14.1%

SUNY Brockport accepts 71% of applicants, which makes it accessible to most students who meet the baseline requirements. 13,031 students applied, a pool deep enough to make the acceptance rate meaningful. Yield is low at 14%, so most admitted students do not end up enrolling. Read the score bands below narrowly: only 14% of enrolled first-years submitted an SAT score, and test-optional applicants are not represented in them.

Test score bands (middle 50% of submitters)

These bands describe the enrolled first-years who submitted a score, not the entering class. Where most students apply test-optional the submitters are a self-selected, higher-scoring group.

Test 25th–75th percentile Submitted
SAT Evidence-Based Reading 550–640 179 (14%)
SAT Math 550–640

Academics

Full-time retention
72%
Transfer-out rate
29%
Student:faculty
17:1

55% graduate within six years — average, but that average still hides a large group who do not. 72% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in four are gone before sophomore year. The two rates sit near each other: few students who return for a second year are missing from the six-year completion figure. A 29% transfer-out rate accounts for part of that gap: those students left for another institution rather than dropping out, and the graduation rate above counts them as non-completers here. A 17:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 5,381 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Net price lands at $15,725 a year on average, neither cheap nor punishing. Aid is steeply need-based: families in the $0–30k band pay $10,911 while those at $110k+ pay $20,625. Grant aid reaches 72% of students at an average of $8,751. Borrowing is widespread: 61% take federal loans.

Entering first-year students

A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.

Net price by family income

The same students as the headline above, limited to those who received Title IV federal aid — a narrower group, with a lower overall average. IPEDS publishes no combined figure across these bands, so they should not be averaged into one.
