Hello,

The Office of Residential Services will be opening pre-registration for those Alfred State students who live on campus that would like to have off-campus guests during Hot Dog Day Weekend.  Although pre-registration is not mandatory, it is highly encouraged so you can skip the long wait of registering your guest with a staff member.

Students may only have one on-campus or off-campus at a time during Hot Dog weekend. 

Pre-registration will run until Tuesday, April 18th.  Final approvals will be made on Wednesday, April 19th. 

Pre-register your guest here: https://alfredstate.erezlife.com/app/one.php?manager=FormView&form_type_id=67

We look forward to a fun and safe Hot Dog Day weekend!

The Spring 2023 final exam schedule is available at the following link: https://www.alfredstate.edu/academics/academic-calendar
Students should contact their course instructors if they have questions regarding their exam schedules.

One of our students recently received an e-mail which came from an active Alfred State Webmail account offering them a job and a $2,450 paycheck. The email also requested the student deposit said check into their bank account and invest the money in Bitcoin. This is just a friendly reminder from University Police that emails such as this are almost always fake and should be treated as such. Emails requesting the recipient to purchase Apple gift cards, Google Play cards, cryptocurrency, or similar forms of payment are examples of what you should look for when dealing with these types of schemes.  Just remember if it sounds too good to be true it is.  

The Integrated Pest Management course is holding a baby praying mantis adoption event on Friday, April 21st from 1:30-3:00pm. Mantises will be adopted out on a first-come, first-served basis until gone. No reservations accepted. Mantises are small and housed in a plastic water bottle. They should be misted daily and fed wingless fruit flies every other day. Adopters can use the wingless fruit fly cultures housed in the Botany lab or order their own flies from suppliers like buyfruitflies.com, but no fruit fly cultures can be given away. Mantises can be released at the end of May when the danger of frost has passed. It's amazing to watch them eat, molt and grow! Contact Jessica Hutchison HutchiJM@alfredstate.edu with any questions.

Student parking lots 3,19,20 and Faculty/Staff parking lots 23,26 and 27 will be closed Friday April 14th from 4pm through the completion of the Honors Convocation on Sunday afternoon. Students may park in any other lots during this time but must be back in the appropriate student parking by Monday morning at 7am. 

Please take a moment to fill-out the below survey to help the Nursing seniors with their capstone project!
