This is just a friendly reminder to make sure you lock your dorm room doors when you leave your room and to lock your car after you park.  During the Spring Semester you will see members of Res Life and officers with the University Police Department conducting a program called "Operation Lock Out." The purpose of the program is to remind everyone to lock their doors. If you see us in your Dorm Hall please feel free to stop and chat with us! Remember: Secure your doors to protect what's yours!

Help us capture the student story of service and community engagement at Alfred State! All students taking in person classes at the Wellsville or Alfred Campus will receive an email with a link to complete the NASCE survey, which will be sent to you from nasce@siena.edu.  Alfred State College students who complete the survey will be entered to win one of 10 campus store gift cards valued at $20 each. 

This survey is an investigation of service and community engagement performed by students at Alfred State College. The story of service and community engagement can be captured through so many activities, both big and small. From participating in a program that broadened awareness, donating blood, can recycling, registering to vote at tabling event, supporting campus and town clean-up events, engaging with food drive or food bank services, supported community need through a class, or joining disaster relief and habitat for humanity efforts, there are countless ways your story of community and service can be captured.  The survey should take about 10-15 minutes to complete, and we ask that all students make sure they are completing it before February 17th.  

Should you have any questions you can reach out to Cyan Corwine (corwincy@alfredstate.edu) in the Center for Civic Leadership!   

All students completing degree requirements this semester need to apply to graduate (diplomas are not automatically awarded) by visiting my.AlfredState.edu/registration and selecting “Apply for Graduation”. 

• The deadline to apply for a May 2023 diploma is February 27, 2023. 
• Please DO NOT apply for August 2023 graduation at this time. 
• Graduating students who plan to return in the fall (in a new program) need to apply for readmission through the Admissions Office and will be unable to register until their readmission application has been approved. 
• Prospective graduates should contact their advisor or department chair to ensure graduation requirements have been met and view their degree progress using the DegreeWorks tool on my.AlfredState.edu/registration. 
• Please note this is the application required to receive your diploma ONLY.  There is a separate process for attending Commencement.  More information on that will be coming soon!
