CAMPUS LIFE AT SCCC Add/Drop

Add/drop occurs when students who have completed registration make changes to their schedule. Students may add available courses through the first week of fall and spring semesters. Students may drop classes without a grade appearing on their transcript during a specific period of time for each term (fall, spring, and summer). For all semesters/sessions, please refer to the appropriate schedule of classes for exact drop/add dates.

Athletic Team Name and Colors for SCCC

Effective Aug. 1, 1998, the SCCC Board of Trustees approved the recommendation to rename the SCCC athletic teams the ROYALS. The Student Government Association solicited entries from the College community for recommended name changes. From all entries submitted, four were selected to go before the College community for a vote. The name, ROYALS, was recommended as a result of votes received from members of the College community-at-large. Schenectady County Community College colors: Royal Blue and Gold.

Attendance

Regular attendance is essential for successful study. Specific attendance regulations are established by individual instructors and are presented to students at the beginning of the semester as noted on the course syllabus. A poor attendance record can result in failing a course (FX grade), receiving a lower grade, and jeopardizing eligibility for financial aid.

Binnekill - Campus Monthly Newsletter

The Binnekill is a monthly publication produced by the Public Relations Department in the Office of Planning, Accountability and Advancement. It is your source for information about College news, upcoming events, sports, student profiles and faculty/staff news. Hard copies of the Binnekill are available near the Security Desk in Elston Hall and outside the Library in the Begley Building. The online edition of the Binnekill is available by visiting the College website at www.sunysccc.edu, and clicking on News, Calendars and Employment. So why is it called the Binnekill? The Binnekill was a quiet channel of the Mohawk River which ran behind what is now the main campus. The Binnekill was closed at one end when I-890 was built. It was later filled in and adjoining properties were converted for use by SCCC. The College later began producing this newsletter, named after the Binnekill. 40
