You are allowed to take up to 12 credits total for the summer, and a maximum of 6 credits in either session I or II. If you are registering for more than 6 semester hours per session, you will need to complete the course overload form.

If you are on a leave of absence for the spring semester, you won't receive a time ticket to register. Please call the Registrar's Office at 607-436-2531 so that we can issue you a time ticket to register.

Online summer courses can be a good fit for non-degree students of all ages, including:

  • high school seniors getting a head start on college courses;
  • students enrolled at other colleges who want to take courses at Oneonta to transfer back to their home institutions; and
  • students who are taking courses with the goal of eventually enrolling at Oneonta or another college.

The application deadline for a visiting student for a summer session term is the Wednesday before the first week of classes. This deadline is set to allow time to create your user account and gain access to our online learning platform before the class begins.
