Affirming Enrollment for Winter 2026

All students must affirm enrollment for the Winter 2026 semester by December 8, 2025. An enrolled student at SUNY Brockport is defined as one who has registered for courses and has accepted all associated charges. This is referred to as Affirming Enrollment and Accepting Financial Responsibility.

Failure to affirm your enrollment by the deadline will result in being purged from all registered courses.
