State University of New York System-wide Policy

All students are required to accept SUNY Brockport Code of Student Conduct to register. A hold is placed on the student account (at the end of each day) for students who have not accepted the Code of Student Conduct, precluding the student from conducting further business with the University.

Course Limits for Summer Session

  • Undergraduate students may register for a maximum of 16 credits.
  • Graduate students may register for a maximum of 15 credits.

Any exception to these limits requires written permission from Dr. Susan Lowey, Director of Special Sessions and Programs, at slowey@brockport.edu.

Registration Deadlines

It is important to register early. Summer Session courses that do not meet a minimum enrollment may be canceled. While it is possible to register for a course as late as the first day of class, early registration helps ensure that the course will be held.

Summer Session Deadlines

  • Monday, March 24: Registration for all sessions begins online at 8 am.
  • Thursday, May 1: Registrations that have not been affirmed online by students are removed. Students may re-register for their courses if space is still available (late fees apply) by contacting the Office of Registration and Records at registrar@brockport.edu.
    • Registrations made on or after May 1 must be affirmed online by following the instructions to Affirm Enrollment within 24 hours of registration. Failure to do so results in your course schedule being removed and late fees will apply for re-registration.
  • Thursday, May 1: Recommended deadline to file Summer Session financial aid application.

Session I Deadlines 

  • Sunday, June 1: Online registration deadline for Session I.

Session II Deadlines

Policy for Undergraduate Students

Policy for Graduate Students

Deadline to register for all summer independent or directed study courses: Monday, July 7. Registration for any course will not be accepted after this date and time. Students must register prior to starting any directed study or independent study.

Late Registration

For students with no existing Summer Session registration, registering for courses during the Add Period of that particular session constitutes a late registration. There is a $40 fee for late registration. If a student registers for a class during its late add period and has no existing Summer Session registration, there is a $60 fee, which includes the late add fee. 

Re-registration (due to not affirming enrollment online)

Students who register by Thursday, May 1 and do not Affirm Enrollment on or before Wednesday, May 1, 2024, will have their scheduled course dropped.

Students who register on or after Thursday, May 1 and do Affirm Enrollment by the end of the next business day, will also have their scheduled course dropped.

Late registration fees apply ($40 fee) and will be assessed for each subsequent re-registration.

Tuition Liability

Students who are adding and dropping courses after the 100 percent refund period for a course is over, will be assessed tuition and fee liability for any courses which have been dropped, as well as any new courses that have been added.

Class non-attendance does not excuse financial obligation. If you are registered for a class, you will be responsible for full payment of your course schedule whether or not you attend class(es).

Repeating Courses

Undergraduates may repeat a course at SUNY Brockport to attempt a higher grade, but the course has to be precisely the same SUNY Brockport course as the one previously taken. Equivalents will not do. The most recent grade counts toward graduation requirements and the cumulative grade point average and the previous grade remain on your permanent record. Students receiving financial aid should not attempt to repeat a course for which they received a grade of D- or higher without first checking with the Financial Aid Office (585) 395-2501 or the Academic Success Center (585) 395-5397.
