HOW TO REGISTER

ALL STUDENTS
All students, regardless of status, must be admitted to Kingsborough Community College in order to register for classes.  New students, readmitted students (including students who have been academically dismissed) and students who must reactivate their application should plan to file the appropriate applications at least one month prior to the start of the semester.

CURRENTLY ENROLLED STUDENTS
Currently enrolled students register for future terms based on their appointment time.  That appointment is communicated to students through the mail.  Please be certain the Registrar’s Office has your current address.

TRANSFER STUDENTS
Transfer students should bring copies of their course enrollments and grades (transcripts or official grade reports) to academic planning and advisement, as well as to registration.  Transcripts filed with the Admission and/or Registrar’s Office will not be available for registration/advising purposes.

VISITING STUDENTS FROM OTHER UNITS OF THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK (CUNY)
Matriculated students from any unit of the City University are admitted through Kingsborough’s Registrar’s Office upon presentation of a valid and complete permit issued by the home college.  Permit students are not guaranteed enrollment in any courses.

WHAT YOU MUST KNOW FIRST
All students are expected to seek academic advisement and planning prior to registration.  An advisement period will be provided during the spring term for fall registration.  Academic advisement and planning or the Winter and Summer Modules will be available at that time as well.
 
All students will be advised of their registration appointment through the mail.  You CANNOT register before your appointed time.  eSIMS will not allow registration if you have an outstanding obligation to the College and a hold or “stop” has been placed on your record.

NOTE: All information in this Schedule is in effect at the time of publication.  It may be subject to change without notice when circumstances dictate.

WHAT IS AVAILABLE IN eSIMS? 

How do I register?

When you select the registration option, you may add up to five (5) courses at a time, and then continue with additional courses.  Enter the 4-digit course code for each course/section request and then click Submit.  If the course is available, a message will appear - CURRENTLY REGISTERED.  Be certain to always verify that you entered all four digits of the course number to ensure that you are requesting the correct section.  Use the RESET option to clear the entries in the course code boxes if you make an error.

If there is a registration problem, a message will appear at the top of the page.  If a course is closed or cancelled, check for open sections by clicking on the "View Open Sections" option.  You may continue adding more courses or replacing your courses until you have registered for the number of credits that you require.

Once registered you will also be given the option to drop a section or to replace a section with another section.  Use the DROP or REPLACE option.  When the semester begins, using the DROP / ADD option may create significant tuition liabilities.  USE THE TAKE / REPLACE OPTION INSTEAD.

What is the REPLACE option?
The REPLACE option permits you to drop a section but only if the section you want to add is available.  This "swap" option ensures that you do not lose a course while attempting to add another. 

To use this option, click the REPLACE button next to the course you wish to drop.  eSIMS will then ask for the course code of the section that you wish to take.  Enter the 4-digit course code for the section you want to add and then press the REPLACE button. 

If the section you want to add is available, it will be added to your schedule and the section you wish to drop will be removed.  If the section you want to add is NOT available, no action will be taken and a message will confirm this.

You can use only one REPLACE option at a time.  Consequently, if you have more than one REPLACE request, you must enter one set of courses, process the request, and then enter the second request.

What registration problems might I encounter?
eSIMS will provide you with a warning message when a problem is encountered.  It is important that you read the screen carefully.  Some of the more common messages are the following:

An office has placed a STOP on your record: 
The system will direct you to a particular office that has placed a STOP on your record.  In most cases, you will not be able to register until ALL STOPS on your record have been cleared.  See the list of STOPS; page XIII in the General Section of this Schedule.

You have a time conflict:
The sections you have chosen overlap in time.  Choose one section.  Check the "View Open Sections" option for another section that does not conflict with the section(s) you have chosen.

A section is closed:
There are no more seats available in the section you have selected.  Check the "View Open Sections" option for another section.

A section is cancelled:
The College has cancelled the section you have chosen.  Check the "View Open Sections" option for another section.

A course requires permission from the department:
Registration permission must be obtained from the department or from the Help Center at (718) 368-6551 and entered into the system prior to your registration in eSIMS.  Permission is date sensitive.

You have exceeded the maximum credit limit:
You have exceeded the eighteen (18) credit maximum limit for a major term (Spring/Fall) or have exceeded the eight (8) credit maximum limit for a module (Summer/Winter).  You should consult with your academic advisor who will review the feasibility of an overload and will explain the procedure to follow to obtain the required permission.  Contact the Help Center at (718) 368-6551.

How can I review my schedule?
Select the Schedule/Grades option to review your schedule.  You will see a grid showing the classes for which you registered by each day of the week.  Remember that some courses meet at different times on different days. The grid will also reflect the starting and ending dates of the term.

How do I finalize my registration?
Students who register must make arrangements for payment of their tuition and fees or to have their financial aid applied.  The payment deadline is provided by the Bursar.  Remember to view your tuition charges and to print a copy of that screen. 

How much time will I have in eSIMS?
You will automatically be timed out if there is no activity for 10 minutes.   This protects your privacy and saves valuable computer resources.  eSIMS is usually available from 7:00 am until 2:00 am the following morning.  Note that interruptions may occur; however, they are usually short in duration. 

A reminder about signing off:
If you are using a computer on campus or in a public area to access eSIMS, be certain to sign off completely when you are done.  This will prevent the next person using the computer from accessing your record.

BEFORE REGISTRATION ALL STUDENTS MUST ALSO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF TWO NEW YORK STATE PUBLIC HEALTH LAWS (NYSPHL).

NYSPHL #2165 requires all students who were born after December 31, 1956 to submit to the college proof of immunity against measles, mumps and rubella.

NYSPHL #2167 requires the college to distribute information to all students on meningococcal disease (or meningitis) and a response form.  Upon receipt of this information, students must complete and return the response form to the college.

The above information requested by law should be submitted to the Office of Health Services at least two weeks prior to registration.

Students enrolled in the Nursing or Surgical Technician Program need additional immunizations and tests which must be completed prior to attending clinical affiliations.

The College requires signed authorization by students, parents or legal guardians to release medical records.  Students who are under 18 years of age need a parent or legal guardian to sign the release for them.

The College reserves the right to reject an applicant because of an existing health condition if the College Medical Officer believes it is necessary and in the best interest of the student and the College.

First aid, emergency treatment, psychological counseling and referral, educational, preventive and advisory services are available.  Registered Nurses are in attendance when classes are in session.  A clinical psychologist and college physician will see students and college personnel with specific problems or questions by appointment. Any accident or illness incurred during school hours or en route to the College should be reported immediately.

NOTE:  The College does not monitor individual student participation in physical education or athletics.  Students are responsible for following the advice of their physician(s) in these matters.  The College will take no responsibility whatsoever for any injury which may be suffered should a student participate without medical advice or against medical advice.  Furthermore, the College will not be responsible for any injury suffered as a result of a physical incapacity.

For information and assistance regarding educational benefits from the Veterans Administration, please contact Ms. Keisha Johnson.  The V.A. coordinator is available, by appointment, during registration and throughout the year to assist with the processing of new and continuing claims.  Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M., in Room A-216.

In order to receive your benefits for each term/module, a copy of your BURSAR'S BILL/ REGISTRATION CONFIRMATION FORM must be submitted to the Veterans Affairs Office after your registration has been completed.

During the term/module please advise the V.A. Coordinator of any change in enrollment status; specifically, an increase or decrease in credits as well as change of address or phone number.

Students receiving V.A. educational benefits must comply with College retention standards.  Failure to comply will result in loss of benefit eligibility.  Any course, which has been previously passed, may NOT be repeated.

VESID STUDENTS

New York State VESID students may not be required to pay all their tuition and fees, provided the College has an approved voucher from VESID by the time of registration which states the amount the agency will pay. HOWEVER, VESID STUDENTS SHOULD CONTACT THE BURSAR'S OFFICE [ROOM A-205, (718) 368-5416] PRIOR TO REGISTRATION TO DISCUSS THEIR STATUS.

CUNY PERMIT STUDENTS
Permit students are matriculated students currently enrolled in other CUNY Colleges.  Students who wish to attend classes at Kingsborough Community College on “permit” should contact their Home College Registrar’s Office for information on CUNY’s ePermit process.
 
NURSING STUDENTS
The academic requirements in the Nursing Curriculum are demanding and students are cautioned to plan their work schedules or extracurricular activities with this in mind.

Clinical Nursing students incur the expense of purchasing a required uniform and equipment necessary for clinical practice in health care agencies.  These students also pay a fee for standardized testing throughout the program.  The cost of required textbooks, uniform and equipment is approximately $560.00 for the first semester.  Additional textbooks are required for subsequent classes.  Malpractice insurance, approximately $20.00/year, and health requirements are required EACH semester.  The fee for standardized testing is approximately $150.00 for the entire program.

RESIDENCE
To be eligible for the resident tuition rate and New York State financial aid, you must be a citizen, green card holder or non-resident of the United States who meets certain criteria, and have been a legal resident of New York State for at least twelve consecutive months prior to the first day of classes.  Applicants who live in a county outside New York City but within New York State must submit a Certificate of Residence from their county.  This certificate must be issued no earlier than two months prior to registration and submitted no later than at registration.  For a Certificate of Residency application, please call the Bursar’s Office.  Some students may be asked to provide documentation of their New York City or State residency.  F-1 and J-1 visa holders are ineligible for in-state tuition rates.

Non-citizen permanent residents of the United States must bring their green cards or other proof of permanent residency to the Office of Admission before the first day of classes in order to be eligible for the resident tuition rate.  Some students in other Immigration and Naturalization Service categories may be eligible for the resident tuition rate.

PART-TIME TAP (PTAP)
State Education Law has been amended to create a Part-Time Tuition Assistance Program for students attending the State University of New York (SUNY), the City University of New York (CUNY) and not-for-profit independent degree-granting colleges.

To be eligible for Part-Time TAP, students must be freshman in the 2006-07 academic year or thereafter, have earned 12 credits or more in each of two consecutive semesters, and maintain a "C" average.

NOTE:  Students receiving TAP or PTAP for the first time beginning SPRING 2007 and after MUST have a U.S. high school diploma or GED.

REDUCTION OR LOSS OF FINANCIAL AID
Financial Aid recipients who used Federal Pell and TAP funds toward tuition expenses and who fall below established credit requirements because of withdrawal or cancellation of a course(s) (e.g. a change from full-time to less than full-time or half-time to less than half-time) may have their financial aid reduced or terminated.

As a consequence, this action may result in a financial liability to the College that must be satisfied by the student.  Consult with the Financial Aid Office (U-201) as to the effect such a change may have on your current semester entitlement and future awards for Federal funds.  Consult with the TAP Office (P-204) regarding how such a reduction in credits/hours will affect your TAP award.
