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!

Summer course registration is now available!  Register for courses, file the 23-24 FAFSA, and complete the Summer Aid Application if you are interested in using financial aid.  Your eligibility information will be sent to your ASC email after your application is reviewed.

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.
