Current Russell Sage Students
Advising for current students will begin on March 12th and registration will begin on March 26th, by class year. Those who register by May 6th will not have to pay a registration deposit. After May 6th, students will need to pay a $100 deposit in order to register. Be sure to meet with your academic advisor to discuss your potential course schedule and so they can clear you.
New Russell Sage Students
New students will be contacted via their Sage email account beginning in late May with important advising and registration information. In addition, all new students will have an opportunity to meet in person with faculty in their department at new student orientation sessions:
- Transfer Students: June 14 or August 16, 2012
- First Year Students: July 12, 2012
Please be sure to check your Sage email account often for important updates about these and other events. Please feel free to email the Associate Dean for Academic Services, Stacy Gonzalez (gonzas@sage.edu) with any questions about advising and registration.
