Academic Questions
DO YOU OR YOUR STUDENT NEED TO COME TO CAMPUS DURING THE SUMMER TO REGISTER FOR CLASSES?
No. Students do not have to come to Siena to register for classes. You will be registered for your first semester courses by our professional staff. This will take place during the month of June.
Before we do this, we will gather a great deal of information on your interests, preferences, and background. You will provide some of this on the “Registration Interest Form” accessed on the New Student Checklist webpage. We take this information and that which is on your high school transcript and your Siena application, look at your intended major, and then we will create schedules for you.
You also have the opportunity to communicate with us over the summer with additional information, preferences or questions. Further, we will communicate with you if we have any questions or concerns. Additionally, if, after we speak with you, it is determined that you should come to Siena and meet with us to discuss your options, we'll set up a time.
WHEN DO RETURNING STUDENTS REGISTER for classes?
WHICH OFFICE AT SIENA COLLEGE CAN PROVIDE ENROLLMENT VERIFICATION FOR OUR INSURANCE COMPANY?
Contact the Registrar’s Office at 518-783-2310 and they will verify that a student is enrolled and sign the appropriate form.
HOW CAN I GET ACCESS TO MY STUDENT’S GRADES?
Student grades are accessible on-line through Banner Self Service. Grades are not mailed home. We encourage students to give their parent’s access to their Banner Self Service account.
WHAT IS A FERPA RELEASE FORM?
Disclosure of a student's confidential education records requires prior written consent of the student (unless disclosure is permitted under certain exceptions to FERPA set forth in Section 99.31 of the FERPA Regulations). A student's consent may be obtained by using the applicable FERPA form.
Does the College offer tutoring services?
Siena offers group and individual tutoring, free of charge, for all students. For more information, including group tutoring session times and individual tutoring requests, please click here.
