Dear students:

Please make sure that you have registered for your fall courses, or are fully prepared to do so when your registration slot opens.  Next week the College will be begin looking at under-enrolled courses, and we want to be sure that our courses are protected against cancellation. Even if you are not 100% sure that you want a specific course, please register for it now to assure yourself of a seat (you can drop the course if needed as soon as you better understand your needs).

Summer course registration is also open, and we have just added seats in two 400-level online electives.  See information at newpaltz.edu/summer.

All best as you complete your spring semester papers, projects, and tests.
