FAQ

 


How do I register if I am a Cortland student?

Winter session registration will open for ALL matriculated students (undergraduate and graduate) during the official WEB-registration period. Students may register for both Winter and Spring 2010 once their time-ticket becomes active. Time tickets will be released around mid-October. Please check on myRedDragon for information about web registration. Undergraduates will also need to have secured their registration pin from their advisor.

--Bills will be mailed November 20, 2009. Please remember to allow enough time for the mail during the holiday season as it takes longer to reach its final destination. Items postmarked on or after the due date are considered late and will be assessed a $50 late fee. So please mail early!

--Students who do not pay their bills will be deregistered from their winter classes on December 14.

--Enrollments for Winter Session will then be confirmed and course cancellation decisions will be made.

Students may continue to register for Winter session in the Registrar's Office (undergraduates) and in the Office of Graduate Studies (graduates) after web closing, up until the first day of Winter Session classes, Monday, January 4, by using a non-web registration form. Payment is required at the time of registration once the web closes and registration is by paper form. There is NO payment plan available for Winter Session. Employer reimbursement forms may be accepted earlier, but must be presented no later than at the time of registration.

Timely registration for winter session is very important as course availability is directly linked to course enrollment. To increase the chances that your course will not be canceled, we advise all registration forms, and tuition payments be made by December 9, 2009.

How do I register if I am NOT a Cortland student?

All non-matriculated students, including those visiting from other colleges, may mail, fax, or deliver in person their registration form once the web closes. Non-matriculated student registration forms will be processed by the date received after all matriculated students have registered. Payment of all tuition and fees must accompany all Winter registration forms. The registration form will be available on this and the Registrar's web site at: www.Cortland.edu/registrar/forms after the web closes. Registration for non-matriculated students will begin November 23.

All students may continue to register for Winter Session from the close of web registration up through the first day of Winter Session classes Monday, January 4. Payment will be required at the time of registration for all students who register after web registration closes.

Timely registration for winter session is very important as course availability is directly linked to course enrollment numbers. Please register for your classes by December 9.

Will taking a winter course allow me to improve my GPA for student teaching, to get in my major, go on my internship, etc.?

If you are a matriculated student here at Cortland, your winter session class will be included in your GPA and be part of your transcript. However, no academic decisions from the fall term will be changed for spring by your winter session grade. If your GPA at the end of the fall term was too low for student teaching, to get into a major, go on an internship, or anything else, a winter course grade will not be reported and computed in time to change that decision.
