New Student Registration Programs
Spring 2009 & Fall 2009
FRESHMEN
At The College at 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.
Registration for entering freshmen at The College at 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 2009 and in early May for fall 2009.) Watch for this important mailing!
TRANSFERS & READMITS
The College at 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.
For Spring 2009:
The SOAR program for spring 2009 new transfers is offered on Saturday, December 6, 2008. This program is specially designed for those transfers who have committed to the College at Brockport for spring to register for spring 2009 courses.
The next SOAR programs are offered during the summer. These programs are designed for new transfers who play to attend The College at Brockport starting in fall 2009.
SOAR Dates are:
| Saturday, May 2, 2009 |
| Friday, June 26, 2009 |
and |
| Friday, August 7, 2009 |
Transfers are strongly encouraged to attend one of the SOAR programs. For a few of you, other commitments may make a trip to Brockport impossible. We will hold a new student registration/orientation program on the Friday before spring 2009 classes begin. Delaying until then means a few lines and more limited course availability, but it's workable, and we will give you all of the assistance we can manage. This final registration program is designed primarily to meet the needs of late admits.
