In partnership with UPD, Criminal Justice Club, and Civic Engagement we have created a Day of Giving program to help all our students. This program will take place from 11/13-11/21.  If you currently have an outstanding parking ticket you can drop off a minimum donation of $10 of non-perishable, not-expired food items or unopened, not expired hygiene items at the Criminal Justice Club suite 411 or Global Engagement and Civic Wellbeing suite 416 in the SLC during posted hours and provide the workers with your name and 800# for identification of your ticket. Donations can only be made to CJ Club, NOT at the University Police office. You can have ONE previously issued parking ticket dismissed. This will benefit the Community Needs Hub for students.

Spring Registration Week is happening now! Our registration process looks different this semester so the Academic Advising Center has created a step-by-step guide with screenshots to help you through the process! The Registration Guide for BannerWeb can be found on the My Academics portal page under Academic Advising. Please reach out to the Academic Advising Center with any registration questions at advising@alfredstate.edu or stop by during drop-in hours this week to SDC 203.

Spring registration began Monday, November 18. Here are some tips to ensure a smooth registration process:

1. Meet with Your Advisor: Schedule a meeting with your academic advisor to discuss your course choices, confirm they align with your degree requirements, and get your registration PIN and time ticket. This step is essential to avoid any registration delays.
2. Register Promptly: Sign up for your classes as soon as registration opens. Courses can fill up quickly, especially popular or required ones, so registering early gives you the best chance to secure your preferred schedule.
3. Check Financial Aid Messages: Pay attention to any financial aid notifications that appear while registering. Financial aid can be affected if you’re enrolling in a repeated course or one that doesn’t count toward your degree, which might lead to unexpected charges.

If you need further assistance, refer to the Registration Instructions on my.AlfredState.edu/registration under "Records Office Resources" for step-by-step guidance.
