Registering for Classes

There are three ways to register for SummerSession '13 courses:

Online Registration Instructions

Mail/Fax Registration Instructions

In-Person Registration Instructions

New and Visiting Students
Students who are new to The College at Brockport (anyone who has not registered for a course at Brockport within the past two years or if you have just graduated from Brockport) are required to complete the The College at Brockport New Student Information Form.

You must return the form to the Office of Special Sessions and Programs by fax, scan/email, mail, or in person. Once the completed form has been submitted and processed, a student record will be created for you, which will allow you to register for SummerSession (and WinterSession) courses only.

Visiting students should check with their home schools to make certain that the courses they take at The College at Brockport will transfer into their program of study at their home campus. For course descriptions, visit Brockport's Undergraduate and Graduate Catalogs.

Student Admission
There is no formal admission process for The College at Brockport during Summer '13. There are, however, two groups of students who may not enroll. Those who have been academically dismissed and who have not been reinstated, and those who have been denied undergraduate admission at The College at Brockport within the past year.

Permission to Register
If a SummerSession '13 course is full or requires departmental approval to register, you must contact the instructor or the department for a permission signature or a permission key number.

Course Limits for SummerSession '13
Undergraduate students may register for a maximum of 16 credits and graduate students may register for a maximum of 15 credits during SummerSession '13. Any exception to these limits requires written permission from the director of Special Sessions and Programs, Dr. Karen Schuhle-Williams, (585) 395-2900.

Registration Deadlines
It is important to register early. SummerSession '13 courses that do not meet a minimum enrollment may be canceled. While it is possible to register for a course as late as the first day of class, early registration helps ensure that the course will be held. Register early to be counted!

Independent Study and Directed Study

Independent Study is intended to be an extension, or "spinoff," of an existing course. It provides the student with an opportunity to pursue/research a subject in more depth and in a more independent manner than would be possible in a traditional course.

Directed Study is designed to be a substitute for a course that is needed for the student's program of study but is not offered in a particular term. The material covered in such courses is essentially the same that is covered in the traditional course. Directed study is a possible option only when a course is not offered during the semester or session in which the student wishes to enroll.

Independent Study and Directed Study Undergraduate Level Guidelines

Independent Study and Directed Study Graduate Level Guidelines

Students registering for an independent study or a directed study must register by Monday, July 8, 2013 at 4 pm. Registrations will not be accepted after 4 pm on Monday, July 8. Students must register prior to starting any directed study or independent study. Eligible students may carry no more than one Independent Study course and one Directed Study course per session during Summer.

Late Registration
For students with no existing Summer '13 registration, selecting courses during the "Add Period" of that particular session constitutes a late registration. There is a $40 fee for late registration.

Re-registration (due to not affirming enrollment online)
Students who register by Thursday, May 2, 2013 and do not check the "Accept" button on the online Enrollment Agreement screen on or before Thursday, May 2, 2013, will have their course schedule removed. Students who register on or after Friday, May 3, 2013, and do not check the "Accept" button by the end of the next business day will also have their courses dropped. In both cases, late registration fees apply ($40 fee) and will be assessed for each subsequent re-registration.

Adding and Dropping Courses

Adding Courses
A student may add a course to his/her existing schedule during the add period. The student needs either the instructor's written permission or a permission key number to do this. Please contact the Office of Registration and Records, at (585) 395-2531 for Special Session course add period dates. There is no fee to add a course.

Session	Deadline for Adding Courses

Session II	Wednesday, June 5
Session III	Wednesday, July 10
Special Sessions	Deadlines Vary

Late Add Period
In exceptional circumstances, with instructor's written permission or a written permission key number, students may be permitted to register for a course after the add period ends. In such cases, a student is subject to a $20 late add fee. Late fees totaling $60 are assessed if the student is not registered already for any courses.

Dropping Courses
Just as you can register for courses in a number of different ways, you have similar options if you need to drop a course: in-person, mail, online, or fax. You are responsible for getting the drop form to the Office of Registration and Records by the indicated deadline. Students are responsible for verifying their drop has been completed.

Dropping your Courses(s) by Mail or in Person
If you drop a course through the mail, submit a brief letter to the Office of Registration and Records clearly explaining your intentions. Be sure to include your name, social security number or Banner ID number, and the specific course information. Or stop by the Registration and Records Office to drop a course in person.

Students adding and dropping courses after the 100 percent refund period for a session is over will be assessed tuition and fee liability for both the courses which have been dropped, as well as any new courses that have been added. The percentage of tuition and fees assessed for the courses dropped is shown in the section "Refunds." The total tuition assessed will not exceed full time tuition rates for full time students.

Dropping your Courses(s) by Fax
If you drop a course by fax, follow the instructions above for sending a request through the mail/in-person and fax your drop request to the Office of Registration and Records, (585) 395-5392. Be sure to include a cover sheet with your name and a daytime telephone number. Drops and refunds will be processed by fax transmission date.

Dropping your Courses(s) Online
Instructor approval is not necessary to drop a course. Be sure that you drop your course(s) no later than the drop deadlines listed below. All drops must either be recorded in the Office of Registration and Records by 4 pm or postmarked on the following dates:

Tuition Refund Schedule for all
SummerSession '13 Courses

Class non-attendance does not excuse financial obligation. If you are registered for a class, you will be responsible for full payment of your course schedule whether or not you attend class(es).

Repeating Courses
Undergraduates may repeat a course at The College at Brockport to attempt a higher grade, but the course has to be precisely the same College at Brockport course as the one previously taken. Equivalents will not do. The most recent grade counts toward graduation requirements and the cumulative grade point average, and the previous grade remains on your permanent record. Students receiving financial aid should not attempt to repeat a course for which they received a grade of "D-" or higher without first checking with either the Financial Aid Office (585) 395-2501, or the Office of Academic Advisement (585) 395-2711.

Grades
Grades for all SummerSession '13 courses will be available online through Web Banner approximately two weeks after the conclusion of the course. Grade reports are not mailed to individuals.

Undergraduate Grades
Undergraduate students receive letter grades of "A", "A-", "B+", "B", "B-", "C+", "C", "C-", "D+", "D", "D-", "E", and "I" (incomplete). The satisfactory/unsatisfactory "S/U" option is available. For more information about the "S/U" grade, review the Student Policies.

Graduate Grades
Graduate students receive letter grades "A", "A-", "B+", "B", "B-", "C+", "C", "E", and "I" (incomplete). They can choose the "S/U" (satisfactory/unsatisfactory) option for 700-level courses with department approval. For more information about the "S/U" grade, review the Student Policies.

Transcript Requests and Credit Transfer
Official transcripts are available via written request, from the Office of Registration and Records. Be sure to include your name, any former names, address, daytime phone number, social security number (or Banner ID number), dates of attendance, and whether you are an undergraduate or graduate student. Remember to include the name and address of the transcript's destination and your signature.

In our experience, credits earned at The College at Brockport easily transfer to other colleges. However, if you are a visiting student, you should check with your home institution before you register for SummerSession '13 and obtain written confirmation that the specific credits you expect to earn at Brockport will transfer to your home school.

Matriculation
Students who are not officially enrolled in a degree program are non-matriculated students. If you expect to earn a degree, you will have to "matriculate," by which we mean you apply to formally declare your intention to pursue a degree upon admittance to The College at Brockport. Matriculation has its advantages: Your degree requirements become fixed and you are assigned a faculty advisor in that degree program. To learn more about undergraduate matriculation, contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions at (585) 395-2751. For graduate matriculation, contact the The Graduate Sschool at (585) 395-2525.
