NEW STUDENTS 

 

If you are a new student at Alfred State College, you will register for your classes during summer orientation and receive a tentative schedule.  Your English and math course placements will be determined by your standardized test scores and high school record.  Students who do not have standardized test scores or have been out of school for some time will be notified to take a COMPASS placement test to assist in proper course placement.  If you are unable to attend summer orientation, the Office of Enrollment Services will mail letters, instructions, and appropriate curriculum sheets so you can register for classes.  You will be assigned a faculty adviser within your program of study.  Your adviser will help you plan your program of course work, provide you with interim grades and help you with answers to questions about personal academic goals, requirements, and academic regulations.   

 

TRANSFER  STUDENTS

 

If you are a transfer student, an official copy of your transcript must be sent to the Admissions Office.  Once you are accepted, the official transcript is sent to the Enrollment Services Office.  Enrollment Services will then begin working with the appropriate department chairs to complete your transfer credit evaluation.  This process could take 7 - 10 days from the time that the transcript is received in Enrollment Services.  Your preliminary evaluation can be found at http://www.alfredstate.edu, click on the Banner Web link, click "Continue", and then click on "Enter Secure Area".  Once you are logged in, click "Student Services and Financial Aid", "Student Records", "Academic Transcript", and "Submit".  Your transfer credit will appear at the top of the transcript.  Please note that this is a preliminary evaluation and that you will be notified via email through your Alfred State account of any updates to your evaluation.  

 

If you have not sent in your most recent and up to date official college transcript, please send a copy to the Office of Enrollment Services, Alfred State College, 10 Upper College Drive, Alfred, NY  14802, in order to have a complete evaluation of your transfer credit.

 

Registration for transfer students will be conducted during the Summer Orientation Program.  You will meet with your academic advisor on Final Registration Day to receive your final class schedule.

 

Should you have any questions regarding your transfer credit evaluation or your schedule, you may contact the Office of Enrollment Services at 1-800-4-Alfred, option 4, or records@alfredstate.edu.  

 

CONTINUING  STUDENTS

 

  If you are a continuing student, you must:

Meet with your academic adviser to discuss course selections and to receive your "registration authorization code".

Complete Course Selection Sheet - obtain appropriate signatures.

Double-check your course selections against required prerequisites required for your curriculum.  If you do not have the prerequisites, you must obtain the course instructor's written approval to register for this course.

Follow instructions on "How to Web Register".  You may click here to register for your courses on the web.

*    Adjustments may be made to your tentative schedule up to the Sunday before classes start on Banner Web.  Changes required or desired after this time must be processed during Add/Drop.

*   Should you fail to successfully complete any course prerequisites or if you are required to repeat a course, you must make changes to your schedule.  Changes may affect your ability to meet graduation requirements.  Remember, it is your responsibility to make sure you have completed all graduation requirements.  Students should review their degree evaluation reports on Banner Web to monitor their progress and to determine what courses are still needed to graduate.  Repeating courses and/or dropping below full-time status may affect your graduation status and financial aid eligibility.  Contact the Financial Aid Office directly for details regarding financial aid eligibility. 

 

RETURNING  STUDENTS

 

If you are a returning student (returning after a break in your enrollment or graduation), you need to apply for readmission at the Admissions Office.  Upon acceptance you must pay your Returning Student deposit.  You will find a letter in your acceptance packet (received from the Admissions Office) instructing you to contact your department to see what courses you should register for.  Per Academic Regulation 203, "When a student changes his/her program or graduates and immediately readmits from a certificate to an associate program or from an associate to a bachelor program, provided that there is continuous enrollment, the student must meet graduation requirements in effect when the student first matriculated to the college.  In all other cases, the student must meet graduation requirements for the program effective when he/she was admitted/readmitted to the program."  Once you know what courses to take, you may then go into Banner Web and register for your classes.  Students may make changes to their schedules through 10:00 p.m. the Sunday prior to the first day of classes.  Once classes begin, students must obtain and complete a Course Selection Form from their advisor and take it to the Office of Enrollment Services to be processed. Add/Drop.  

 

PART-TIME

New part-time matriculated students must apply through the Admissions office.  Once accepted and acceptance deposit has been paid, students can go on-line and register for their classes.  If you are a non-matriculated student, you must complete a Course Registration Form and send it to the Office of Enrollment Services for processing.  If students require assistance registering for classes, they may contact the Office of Enrollment Services at any time.  Students in the Internet programs will be advised by their advisers via email.  The adviser will provide the student with instructions on how to web register and the appropriate courses needed. 

INTERNATIONAL

New international students are invited to attend summer orientation and register for their courses.  However, due to the cost of travel and the time restrictions associated with their visas in relation to the date of the start of classes, it is not always possible.  Attending summer orientation is not mandatory.  The Office of Enrollment Services will register students for the appropriate courses and will work with the Director of International Education for those students that are unable to attend summer orientation.  Students will meet with their academic advisers on Final Registration Day to review and receive their final schedules.

 

EXPECTED GRADUATE

If you are an expected graduate, you may not register for classes until your readmission is confirmed by the Admissions Office.  However, you should meet with your adviser and complete a Course Selection Form.  As soon as your re-admittance is confirmed, you may be issued a "registration authorization code" by the Enrollment Services Office and click here to register for classes on line (or call 607-587-3956).  

FINAL CLASS SCHEDULES

All new, transfer, and readmit students must meet with their academic advisers on Final Registration Day.  Final class schedules will be issued at that time.   These schedules will not reflect any changes that have been made on-line after the "print" date on the final schedules.  If changes have been made since that date, the student must go on-line to print a new schedule. You will be notified of the location and time in your registration letter which will be mailed to you prior to Final Registration Day.  Continuing students will be required to go on-line to print their final schedules just before classes start. 

HOLDS

Please note that offices may place holds on your records that prevent registration.  You should take care of any holds promptly to insure your registration in desired courses and/or sections.  

SPECIAL NOTE 

 

Students with unpaid/unprocessed bills at 4:00pm Final Registration Day will have ALL of their courses dropped and their registration status will be changed to "failed to enroll".  These students will be required to re-register during Add/Drop and pay a late registration fee.  Also, they will not be able to go on-line over the weekend to redo their schedules and there is no guarantee that original courses will still be available.  

 

Alfred State College reserves the right to cancel any course without prior notice due to insufficient enrollment or unforeseen circumstances.
