Don't worry—you're ready! While we're wishing you a positive and stress-free registration day, here's what to do and who to contact if you run into any issues.

 

First: Review the UR Student resource video on troubleshooting course registration. This short video walks you through the different types of settings and restrictions that could prevent you from registering for a course in the system. 

 

If you need additional assistance: 

❏ Reach out to your College Advisor. They can lift the advising hold on your UR Student account, assist you in selecting alternate courses if your selected course closes, and help you request special permission (if eligible) to register for a course. If your College Advisor is unavailable, contact the College Center for Advising Services team through the chat function on their website or by calling their office at (585) 275-2354.

 

❏ Submit a ticket to the UR Student Technical Support Team. They can help you troubleshoot if you're having connectivity problems or issues navigating the system. Please note: In order to submit a ticket, you must be connected to the University's wireless network on campus or through VPN.

Beginning Monday, August 19, make sure to tune into ROC TV (Channel 585)!  This year's Fall Welcome Week theme invokes the nostalgia and camaraderie of classic and childhood favorite television shows to help you get to know your campus community, classmates, and what it means to be a Yellowjacket.

 

Use the button below to explore the unique traditions you'll experience during Fall Welcome Week, in addition to the variety of social events, academic sessions, and co-curricular programs that will help get you ready for your first semester on campus. 

All international students (including those who have previously studied at another U.S. institution) are required to attend a mandatory immigration compliance webinar on Thursday, August 15 from 9-10 a.m. (EDT). 

 

Hosted by the International Services Office, this webinar will provide you with information about how to stay in compliance with your visa regulations while studying and working in the U.S. Make sure to register ahead of time to receive the Zoom link!

Next week's issue of Rochester Ready will be the last of the summer, and will include last-minute reminders, arrival instructions, parking information, and instructions on how to download the Welcome Week app. 

 

We hope this publication has helped you feel better prepared for your first semester at the University. We can't wait to see you on campus in less than two weeks!
