Enrollment and Registration: Summer Sessions

Current Fredonia undergraduate and graduate students may register and pay online via Your Connection. Payment of tuition and fees SHOULD be made upon successful registration to avoid being dropped from classes. The last day for May Term, Summer I, and Summer Extended Web registration is May 13; the last day for Summer II Web registration is June 24. After these dates, Summer Sessions registrations will be processed in Extended Learning via email, fax, or mail or in the Registrar's Office on the first floor of Reed Library using the Summer Sessions Registration Form.

Visiting undergraduate and graduate students (students enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate program at another institution) must first fill out the Summer Sessions Registration Form, e-mail, fax, or mail it to Extended Learning with documentation of college coursework (advisor's or registrar's signature or current transcript), and then make full payment. If you plan to transfer credit for the course, make sure you have reviewed the course with the advisor at your current college to ensure the credits will transfer to your degree program. Please make note of any course prerequisites when reviewing the Summer Sessions schedule under Course Information. You must provide evidence of having completed them. To view course equivalents, please visit Fredonia's Course Equivalencies page. Once the form is processed, you will be sent a confirmation of your registration. Class spaces will be assigned according to the date of receipt of the Registration Form. After May 13 (for May Term, Summer I, and Summer Extended) and June 24 (for Summer II), please contact Extended Learning directly at 716-673-3177 or extended.learning@fredonia.edu. 

Undergraduate and Graduate students not currently enrolled in a college program must submit an Application for Continuing Education Credit Study and should contact Extended Learning well in advance of registration.

In accordance with SUNY policy, no student is allowed to register for future semesters until all tuition, fees, and other current financial liabilities have been paid.

The State University of New York at Fredonia reserves the right
to cancel any course for which the enrollment is deemed
insufficient or for other administrative reasons. The university
also reserves the right to change faculty assignments and
therefore cannot guarantee students the faculty of 
their choice.
