Spring 2008  & Fall 2008
New Student Registration Programs

FRESHMEN

At SUNY Brockport, you will find that, although we separate the process of Registration (course selection) from the other more fun and exciting activities you'll experience in our freshman Orientation program, we do work very closely in order to give you the best schedule, service and overall experience possible as you make this transition from high school to college. You can find information regarding Brockport's orientation program on the Orientation Web site at www.brockport.edu/orientation .

Registration for entering freshmen at SUNY Brockport is handled through the mail by a team of dedicated, well-trained and experienced faculty advisors. The process is quite simple. At least half of your course schedule is prescribed for you based upon your high school performance (including SAT and/or ACT scores), as well as the program of study you may have chosen at Brockport. By completing the Registration Request Form included in the mailing you'll receive, you will help us select the final two or three courses that will complete your course schedule for that important first semester. You will receive your course schedule together with a form that, if you choose, will enable you to reserve your textbooks in advance. You can then plan to arrive at Brockport registered for classes and ready to devote your full attention to getting acquainted with your new classmates and participating fully in our Welcome Weekend.

The Freshman Mail-in Registration packet is scheduled to be sent to you once you pay your advance tuition deposit (starting in the beginning of December for spring 2008 and in early May for fall 2008.) Watch for this important mailing!

TRANSFERS & READMITS

SUNY Brockport offers Student Orientation, Advisement and Registration (SOAR) programs designed especially for new transfer students and for students accepted for readmission who are returning to Brockport after an absence of one or more semesters. The purpose of the SOAR program is to give you the best introduction we can to the policies, programs, facilities and services available to assist you in your transition to Brockport, and most important, to help you select your courses for your first semester.

 During the SOAR program, you'll:

• receive comprehensive personalized academic advisement from faculty members in your field of interest.
• register for your first semester classes.
• receive information on topics such as financial aid, intercollegiate athletics, clubs and organizations, career services, student employment, campus safety, and support services.
• have an opportunity for members of your family to talk with faculty and staff.
• get to know and feel comfortable with the SUNY Brockport campus.

New spring 2008 transfers who have made early decisions to attend SUNY Brockport are encouraged to take advantage of our special opportunity to meet with a faculty advisor and register for spring 2008 courses on Saturday, December 8, 2007. This Saturday Student Orientation, Advisement and Registration (SOAR) program was chosen to accommodate most of our spring 2008 new students who may still be attending classes at their transfer colleges or taking final exams during the week.

The next opportunity to register will be at the Open Registration program on Friday, January 25, 2008, before classes begin.
 

For FALL 2008:

The first SOAR program for fall 2008 new transfers is offered on Saturday, May 10, 2008. This early program is specially designed for those transfers who have committed to SUNY Brockport early and are eager to register for fall 2008 courses. It also provides an early registration opportunity for those students who plan to be away for the summer or are working full-time and not available to attend a summer SOAR program.

The next two programs are offered during the summer.

SOAR Dates are:
