Registration
All students must register for on-campus courses. Currently enrolled AU full-time and part-time students must register for summer courses on-line using BannerWeb. Contact the Student Service Center for help if you have questions about web registration by calling 607.871.2123.
Other individuals wishing to take summer courses must complete a registration form. Registration may be done in person at the Student Service Center in Seidlin Hall, through the mail to the Student Service Center or by fax to 607.871.2347.
Registration should be completed at least one business day prior to the first class, with full payment due on or before the first class meeting. (Some Summer School students also have to submit health forms when they register. Please see Immunization Requirements, below.) Students who have registered and paid their bills should go directly to their classes at the start of the session. After that time late fees will be assessed and, since some classes have limited enrollment, no guarantee of admission can be made.
Important: Students who qualify for tuition remission must submit their tuition remission request forms at least 2 weeks prior to the start of the class(es) for which they are registering.

Summer School Schedule Changes
The administration reserves the right to withdraw any course for which fewer than two students register (not counting tuition remission students). The University will attempt to notify students enrolled in canceled courses prior to the first class meeting via messages to their official AU e-mail accounts and by keeping the course list on this website updated. It is the students' responsibility to check their email and this website regularly for Summer School course additions, changes, and cancellations. It must be understood, however, that under certain circumstances beyond our control the decision to cancel a course may not be made until the first class meeting.
If a course not scheduled for the summer is desired by two or more students, the Director of Summer Programs will make every effort to schedule it and provide a qualified instructor. Such groups are encouraged to contact the Office of Summer Programs as early as possible.

Immunization Requirements
NYS Public Health Law 2165 requires that students attending colleges/universities demonstrate immunity to measles, mumps and rubella (MMR). All Summer School students enrolled for 6 hours or more and born on or after January 1, 1957 must provide the A.U. Health Center with appropriate proof of immunity, if they haven't already done so (immunization form). Current A.U. students who already have this information on file at the Health Center are not required to provide this proof again.
Summer School students enrolled for 4 or more credit hours are also required to review a meningococcal meningitis information sheet and complete and return a meningococcal meningitis vaccination response form. Current A.U. students who have already submitted this form to the Health Center don't have to do this.
Students who do not comply are not allowed to complete registration for courses. If registration is already accomplished, students not in compliance with the immunization law will be removed from courses.
Health forms should be submitted to the Student Service Center with the Summer School registration form. Direct any questions concerning New York State immunization requirements to the AU Health Center at 607.871.2400, or via email.
