Advisement and Registration

General Advisement Sessions in Edwards Hall, Blue Room (100) are scheduled on Friday, January 21 at 11 am and 1 pm.  

Please note:

• You must attend one of the General Advisement Sessions prior to meeting with the faculty to choose classes.

Making course changes through the Online Registration System

Prior to January 24, (except January 21) students can drop any courses and add any open sections of courses following the instructions on the “Registration FAQs” page on the Registrar’s Web site at www.brockport.edu/registrar. Once classes begin, students will need signatures or Permission Key Numbers from course instructors to add any course even if it still shows open seats and even for second quarter courses.

The Online Registration System requires special procedures to add a course when permission is necessary or once classes begin. More information on Permission Key Numbers can be found online at www.brockport.edu/registrar from the “Registration FAQs” link.

The Online Registration System can be used to add classes until Friday, February 11 at 5 pm, and it can be used to drop classes until Monday, February 21 at 5 pm.
