Transfer Student Services Boot Camp
Want to meet other transfer students? How about a tour of campus to find your class buildings and other key areas you should know. Join us in the CIW Library (Iroquois Building) on Monday, August 23, 2021 at 10:30 am for a brief meet and greet, followed by a campus tour beginning at 11:00 am. At the end of the tour join us and other transfer students for pizza.
The College-in-the-Woods (CIW) is located across the street from University Union bus pick-up/drop off location. The CIW Library is located in the Iroquois building, down the hall from the dining center.
Don’t forget to confirm your Fall 2021 enrollment on BU Brain by 5:00 pm on Monday, August 30, 2021 to stay registered for your classes! Make sure to complete the entire process and all four steps, which includes a statement indicating you are confirmed.
If you do NOT take the two (2) minutes to complete this process, you will be automatically dropped from all courses. (NOTE: payment of tuition does not automatically confirm enrollment. This must be done every semester in which you register for courses at Binghamton.)
Add/Drop
The process for add/drop is currently available and will continue until 11:59 pm on Thursday, September 9, 2021. If you have any questions, contact Student Records.
Campus Parking
Parking on any campus can be challenging, making Binghamton no different. Students are encouraged to use Broome County (BC) Transit or Off-Campus College Transportation (OCCT) in getting to and from campus. However, if you want to drive, make sure you know the areas to park (campus parking map) and parking rules and regulations.
The first few weeks of class, make sure and allow time to find parking, as you and thousands of other students, staff and faculty will be looking for parking spaces. Even night parking can be a challenge. Plan ahead!!
