STEP 2: Register

Your placement test will help your advisor guide you to the right courses for reaching your goals. Make sure to take your placement tests before meeting with your advisor.

While most new SUNY Ulster students must take the test, some students may be exempt because of their previous coursework.

Note: You’ll need to bring a Photo ID. All other testing materials (including dictionaries) will be provided.

Additional Information:

• Testing Schedule
• Sample Questions

If you were born after January 1, 1957 and are planning to take six or more credits, you'll need proof of immunization against measles, mumps and rubella. Ask your physician for your immunization records or have them fill out this Proof of Immunization form.

All students, regardless of age must comply with this Meningitis Law

Advisors are valuable because they know the ins and outs of both your subject of study and the registration process. Your advisor will guide you through your semesters in the most efficient way, saving you time and energy.

A few ways your advisor can help:

• Course selection
• Program requirements
• Transfer options
• Career planning
• Help with academic difficulties or concerns

You’ll want to meet with your advisor before the end of each semester to plan your next semester’s class schedule.

Notes:
Entering students will meet with an academic advisor during the registration process. After your initial registration you will be assigned a permanent advisor from your department of study.

Non-matriculated students are not assigned an academic advisor.

Both matriculated and non-matriculated students who are new to the school will be sent an invitation to attend a registration session. This invitation will be sent to students who have been accepted by the Admissions Office and who have either completed their placement testing or were granted a waiver.

Registration for Matriculated Students:

• Register at the registration session you were invited to attend.
• Log onto MySUNYUlster to register online. Your advisor will provide you with a PIN.
• Some advisors will provide students with a pink slip to hand in at the registration office in Rm. VAN 206.
• Attend an Arena Registration Session. You will be given an opportunity to meet with an academic advisor during this event.

Registration for Non-Matriculated Students:

• Simply call the Registrar's Office at (687-5075 0r 1 (800) 724-0833 and register by phone.
