Albany Undergraduate Students
Current Students
If you are a University at Albany student and are a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior during the regular academic year, you are already admitted and need only see your assigned academic advisor for course advisement and to obtain clearance to register. Students who are academically dismissed by the end of the Spring semester or who voluntarily withdraw are not automatically eligible to enroll unless readmission has been granted.
Newly Admitted Students
If you are a newly admitted freshman or transfer student at the University at Albany for the fall 2008 term, you need to be sure that your fall application is updated to include summer 2008 as your starting term. Please contact the Office of Undergraduate Admissions and file a request to update your admission to summer 2008. You would then need to see your assigned advisor in order to register.
College or College-bound Students
If you are visiting from another college/university, or if you have been accepted in the fall to a college/university other than Albany, you will need to apply for admission in the Office of General Studies and Summer Sessions, SS-110. You may register online, or by mail, fax, or in person using the nondegree registration application.
High School Students
If you are currently attending high school and entering your senior year, you can apply for admission to the Office of General Studies and Summer Sessions, SS-110. You may register via mail, fax, or in-person using the high school application. Please make sure to follow the instructions listed below before applying for admission. High school students may only register for 100- or 200-level courses. Enrollment is on a space-available basis, with priority given to students currently enrolled in colleges and universities.
To apply for admission during Summer Sessions, high school students must:
- Submit an application for non-degree, undergraduate study to the Office of General Studies and Summer Sessions.
- Attach to your application a current high school transcript.
- Attach a letter of reference from your guidance counselor. This letter, written on school letterhead, should attest to your emotional and intellectual readiness for college coursework and indicate that you can reasonably be expected to compete academically with university students.
- Meet any and all stated prerequisites for the course(s) in question.
If you are a high school graduate, or hold a high school equivalency diploma, or if you have already completed a baccalaureate degree or higher, you may be admitted as a General Studies student. You may register online, or by mail, fax, or in-person using the nondegree registration application.
Applications
Applications must be received no later than two weeks prior to the start of classes so as to allow sufficient processing time. Applications received too late to be processed by mail will require in-person student registration.
Submitting your application and the resulting registration makes you liable for tuition charges for the total of your registered credit hours.
