Tips for Successful Course Registration

Fall registration begins Monday, April 6. Here are some tips to ensure a smooth registration process:

 Meet with Your Advisor Early: Schedule a meeting with your academic advisor before April 6 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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Registration Instructions (How-to Guides) are available by visiting my.AlfredState.edu, selecting “Academics,” and then choosing “Additional Academic Info” on the “Academic Resources” card.

🎓 Your Story, Pinned Forward

Your time at Alfred State is part of something bigger, rooted in a tradition that began in 1908 and carried forward by generations of students before you. As you prepare to graduate, a $19.08 senior gift, honoring our founding year, is a meaningful way to continue that legacy and support those who will follow in your footsteps.

In recognition of your gift, you’ll receive a Philanthropy Pin to wear at commencement, where it will be formally recognized in the official program. More than a symbol for one day, it represents your connection to Alfred State, your impact on its future, and your place in a tradition of giving that will continue long after you leave campus.

📌 Pin it forward. Wear it loud and proud, at commencement and always!
👉 ORDER HERE!

Stay connected beyond graduation, join the Alfred State Alumni Facebook page and continue being part of the Pioneer community.
