Adding Courses
FIRST-SEMESTER FRESHMEN – All adds require the signature of your advisor and the instructor.
Because first-semester freshmen are administratively "block-scheduled" into courses to insure that their general education course requirements are efficiently registered, first-semester freshmen may only add or late add with the signature of their advisor on their enrollment form (schedule) starting with the first day of the semester. To add a course, the instructor's signature is required in addition to the advisor's signature even if the course still shows open seats and even for a second quarter course.
First-semester freshmen cannot make schedule adjustments online. Schedule adjustments with the required signatures must be processed in person at the Office of Registration and Records, 201 Rakov, according to the published dates and deadlines for adds, late adds, drops and withdrawals. Check online or in the printed Schedule of Classes for the appropriate deadlines. Any questions regarding schedule adjustments should be directed to the advisor or to the Office of Academic Advisement, (585) 395-2711.
ALL OTHER REGISTERED UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE STUDENTS
Starting with the first day of the semster, all adds are by permission from the instructor - permission key number to add online or instructor's signature to add in person at the Office of Registration and Records - even if the course still shows open seats and even for second quarter courses. Undergraduate and graduate students who are registered with full-time status prior to the first day of the semester may make adjustments to their schedules either online or in person according to the published deadlines.

ADD PERIOD - the first week of a spring or fall semester - NO Fee
Students already registered prior to the first day of the semester may add a course(s) to their existing full-time schedule during the first week of the semester (reglar add period) without a late fee. Starting with the first day of the semester, all adds are by permission from the instructor - permission key number to add online or instructor's signature to add in person at the Office of Registration and Records even if the course still shows open seats and even for second quarter courses. Please note that it is always the prerogative of the instructor to admit or exclude a student from a course during the add period. Also note that attending a different section of the same course without processing an official drop/add transaction either online or in person at the Office of Registration and Records does not constitute dropping one section and adding the other. Remember that nothing has been dropped or added until an official online or in-person transaction has been processed.
LATE ADD PERIOD - $20 Late Fee
Adding during the second and/or third week of the semester constitutes a late add and a $20 late add fee will be charged to add to an existing full-time schedule.
Late fees will apply if adds are not processed by the published deadline. Check online or in the printed Schedule of Classes for registration dates and deadlines for schedule adjustments.
AFTER THE LATE ADD PERIOD HAS ENDED - $20 Late Fee
*The signature of the appropriate Dean is reqired to add after the late add period has ended. The appropriate permission form can be obtained in the Registration and Records Office.
