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. Do you have an idea for a BINNEKILL story, a question about the BINNEKILL, or would you like to write or take photos for the BINNEKILL? If so, please see Public Relations Specialist Heather Meaney in the Stockade Building, Room 108, or call 381-1250.
