Registration steps for visiting and non-matriculating students:
You are considered a visiting student if you are enrolled at another college and wishing to register for a course or two at RCC and then transfer credits back to your home institution. If you are currently attending a SUNY college or university you must follow the SUNY Cross Registration policy. All other students please follow the directions below.
- For non-SUNY students, please make sure your home school approves you taking the courses at RCC. Download your home school’s required form.
- Visiting and non-matriculating students can view course offerings using this Self-Service Banner link.
- When you’re ready to register, complete the Student Data Sheet and Registration Form.
- If you are registering for a course with prerequisites, please use the document upload feature in the electronic form to attach supporting documents—such as transcripts (official or unofficial)—to demonstrate that the prerequisites have been met.
- If you plan to take English or mathematics course, you may need to take a placement test or provide transcripts to show your skill level in reading, writing and/or mathematics. You can view the Placement Testing Schedule and visit Placement & Assessment or call 845-574-4328 if you have questions about what’s required.
- All students in New York State who enroll in 6 or more credits (in person) must submit a completed immunization form (PDF). Failure to provide acceptable immunization documentation may result in removal from classes without refund of tuition and fees. If you are enrolling in 6 or more credits, complete the immunization form and submit it with your paperwork.
- Once Records receives your electronic form, they will create and activate your student profile, allowing you to register. Depending on the time of year, our staff will process registrations in the order they are received. However, you will also be able to register or make changes to your registration through Banner Self-Service.
