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-Cortlalnd 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 and when do I register?
Cortland undergraduate and graduate students register for summer session classes at the same time they register for fall classes through myRedDragon. SUNY Cortland undergraduate students must see their advisor to receive their registration PIN. Graduate students do not require a registration PIN from an advisor, but will need their login information for myRedDragon.
Students should register for their summer classes first in case there may be prerequisites for the fall classes they wish to take.
You will find complete instructions and information about web registration at this web site in March.
Matriculated students who register on the web will be billed for their summer courses.
All students (Cortland and non-Cortland) may continue to register up to the first day of classes. After the web closes students will be required to register via a form on the Registrar's web site. Payment will be required at the time of registration. Any student who registers after the first day of the session will be assessed a late registration fee.
All non-Cortland 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. Further instructions on non-web registration will be at this site in March.
Non-Cortland 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-Cortland 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.
How do I access myRedDragon?
If you are a Cortland student, you may register on the web. For more information about web registration go to the Registrar's web page at http://www2.cortland.edu/offices/registrars-office/registration/web-register.dot.
If you are an undergraduate Cortland student you will also need to contact your advisor to get your web registration 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 Advisement 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.
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 the first day of each 5 week term from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Registrar's Office. Students who wish to change their course schedules for Summer Session II, only, should attend General Registration-Drop/Add on the first day of second session, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
A fee of $20 will be charged for each drop and each add after the first day of classes.
What about refunds?
The complete chart of summer refunds and withdrawals may be accessed at Student Accounts. Refunds will be prorated as of the date the transaction is processed and completed in the Registrar's Office not the date it was mailed or signed. To obtain a refund, it is necessary to make the request to drop or withdraw from the course in writing. Nonattendance and/or nonpayment of tuition and fees does not constitute an automatic withdrawal.
If you are within the drop period for the term, you may fax a drop form, or a written statement including your name, C#, and course information to the Registrar's Office at 607-753-2959
After the drop period, but no later than the last withdrawal date listed for the term on the refunds and withdrawals chart, students may withdraw from courses by petitioning the instructor and the Associate Dean. A withdraw from course form is available on the Registrar's forms page.
Questions about refunds may be directed to the Student Accounts Office at 607-753-2313.
The College fee and late registration payment fee are not refundable. Back to top
