Welcome back! Here is some information we think you will find useful, if you have any questions please contact us at extension 2136.

 

·       Faculty Drops: As it is stated in the Undergraduate Catalog, “Students who have two unexcused absences during the first two class meetings of the semester may be dropped from the course at the discretion of the instructor.” This policy is designed to free up seats in classes during the course add period.  If you wish to drop a student from your course, please notify the Registrar’s Office in writing by the drop deadline of September 18, 2006 making sure to note that the student never attended the course.

 

·       myOswego Resources: To obtain class rosters, enter overrides for students who are attempting to register for restricted or closed courses, obtain information about students, obtain a list of their advisees, and enter grades for completed courses. Please go to http://myoswego.oswego.edu.    If you haven’t signed up for a Web for Faculty account through the Registrar’s Office, please contact us at x2136.

 

·       Add/Drop/Withdrawal Deadlines: The final date for a student to add a Fall 2006 semester course without the approval of the Dean of their major and a processing fee is Thursday, September 7, 2006.  The final date to drop without Dean’s approval and fee is Monday, September 18, 2006.  The course withdrawal period will be in effect September 19-October 27, 2006 and the documented late course withdrawal period October 30-December 8, 2006.  For all course withdrawals, students will be assigned a grade of “withdrew passing,” “withdrew failing,” or “withdrew no grade.”

 

·       Room Changes: If you feel the need to move your course to a different room, please contact your Department Chair with your request.  All requests must be sent by email and should come from the Department Chairperson.  We will do our best to accommodate your needs based on the classrooms that are available. Please check with us before adding students that would exceed your current room capacity at X2136.

 

·       Cancelled Class Notification: If classes on campus are cancelled due to inclement weather, the information will be available in a recording at 312-3333. If you decide to cancel for one class meeting, please post signs for your students or find a way to let them know. If you need to cancel a course for the semester, please notify the Registrar’s Office in writing.

 

·       Registration Period for Upcoming Terms: Students will be notified via email that registration for Spring is upcoming.  They will be directed to go to their MYOSWEGO account site to find when they will be eligible to register.  The Registration Eligibility Table will also be available in our course bulletin and at www.oswego.edu/administration/registrar/ under the Eligibility Table link.

 

·       De-Registration: At this time students are not de-registered for lack of payment for the Fall or Spring semesters. If payment is not made by the due date, a hold will be placed on their records.

 

·       Out of Class Notification: If a student will miss multiple class meetings due to illness or other unexpected temporary absence, please refer them to the Student Advisement Office at 501 Culkin Hall, 312-2240.
