Do I have to apply to the college to take summer courses?
No. If you are currently not a Cortland student and would like to take a couple of summer courses, you do not need to go through the admissions process to do that. However, non-matriculated undergraduate students must apply through the Admissions Office once they have attempted a total of 11.5 credit hours, and graduate students must apply through the Graduate Studies Office after 9 credit hours.

How can I tell on the SUNY Cortland Course Schedule web page if a course is liberal arts course?
When you are on the SUNY Cortland Course Schedule web page you may click on either the department number of the course, or the CRN number of the course (both are red and underlined) which will take you to a detail page of the course. On that page you will see "LASR" next to the category "Course Attributes", which means it is a Liberal Arts course.

How do I register?
Matriculated Undergraduate and Graduate Students will be able to register for summer session classes at the same time they register for fall 2008 classes. SUNY Cortland undergraduate students must see their advisor to receive their registration PIN, which is different from your Banner Web Access PIN. Graduate students do not require a registration PIN from an advisor, but will need their User ID and Banner PIN to log on to Banner Web.

Sometime in March, Cortland students may go to the SUNY Cortland home page at www.cortland.edu, click on the quick links, and select "Banner Web". Students may log on by entering their User ID and PIN to see their time ticket which is their window of opportunity to register for summer and fall classes. Students should register for their summer classes first in case they may be prerequisites for the fall classes they wish to take.

You will find complete instructions and information about web registration at the bottom of the Registrar's web page.

Matriculated students who register on the web will be billed for their summer courses. Bills will be mailed in April 21 and payment will be due in May 9.

All non-matriculated students, undergraduate and graduate, will not have access to web registration and will be required to pay all tuition and fees at the time the registration form is submitted.

Non-matriculated students including those visiting from other colleges, may mail, fax, or bring their registration form to the Registrar's Office (undergraduate) or the Graduate Studies Office (graduate) any time after web registration closes for matriculated students which is April 18. Registration forms are available to print off of the web. Non-matriculated student registration forms will be processed by date received on a space available basis.

Non-matriculated undergraduate students may take a maximum of 11.5 credit hours before they must apply through Admissions and be accepted into a degree program. Non-matriculated graduate students may take a maximum of 9 credit hours before they must apply through the Graduate Studies Office and be accepted into a degree program.

All students may continue to register up to the first day of classes (May 21 for Summer Session I and July 1 for Summer Session II). Any student who registers after the first day of the session will be assessed a $40 late registration fee.

How do I access Banner Web?
If you are a matriculated student, you may register on the web. For more information about web registration go to the Registrar's web page at www.cortland.edu/registrar/coursescheduleregistration.

If you are an undergraduate matriculated student you will also need to contact your advisor to get your web registration PIN, which is different from you Banner Web Access PIN.

How many hours can I register for in summer?
Undergraduate students may register for a total of 7 credit hours in Summer Session I and 7 credit hours in Summer Session II. However, 6 credit hours are considered full time for financial aid purposes. Please contact the Financial Aid Office if you have questions about full time status for summer at 607-753-4717 or at finaid@cortland.edu.

Graduate students may register for a total of 8 credit hours in each 5 week session.

Can I register for Summer Session I and II at the same time?
Yes. If you plan to take a course during both summer sessions, please register, for both sessions when you register for session I putting all courses on a single registration form.

What if I want to change my schedule after I register?
Students who wish to change their course schedules for Summer Session I, or both Sessions, should attend General Registration-Drop/Add on Wednesday, May 21, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Students who wish to change their course schedules for Summer Session II, only, should attend General Registration-Drop/Add on Tuesday, July 1, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Undergraduate students should go to the Registrar's Office, Miller Building, Room 223. Graduate students should go to the Graduate Studies Office, Brockway Hall, Room 216.

A fee of $20 will be charged for each drop and each add after the first day of classes.

What about cancellations or refunds?
Decisions regarding course cancellations will be made shortly before classes begin. Notice of cancellations will be sent to students at both their local and permanent addresses that we have on our student information system. You may also check the course schedule on the web to see if your class has been canceled.

Refunds will be prorated as of the date the transaction is processed and completed in the Registrar's or Graduate Studies Office not the date it was mailed. To obtain a refund, it is necessary to make the request to drop or withdraw from the course in writing.

After the drop period, but no later than the last withdrawal date listed below, students may withdraw from courses by petitioning the instructor and the Associate Dean for undergrads or the Director of Graduate Studies for graduate. Forms are available in department offices.

The College fee and late registration payment fee are not refundable. Notice of the intention to withdraw from a course must be filed in writing at the Registrar's Office (undergraduates) or the Graduate Studies office (graduates). Nonattendance and/or nonpayment of tuition and fees does not constitute an automatic withdrawal.
