Important Notice

Please note that all students must contact the appropriate office by 5 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 23, to schedule or obtain an Advisement Verification Number (AVN) to register via WIReD. Although registration and add/drop are available via WIReD after Dec. 23, the college will be closed Dec. 24, 2026 through Jan. 3, 2027. The college will reopen on Monday, Jan. 4, 2027.

Winter Class Meeting Schedule (In-Person and Remote Classes)

The calendar below outlines meeting times for classes that meet in person or remotely. All classes (in person, online, and remote) begin and end on the same dates; however, asynchronous online classes do not have specified meeting times.

Registration Calendar

*The schedule drop for non-payment will take place after the close of business as noted above. If a student has already paid and adds another course to their schedule, the student is automatically registered for that course and incurs tuition liability. The course will not be dropped for non-payment.

Students should check the My Enrollment Checklist in WIReD to verify payment status. All registration activity ceases at the close of business on the day of a schedule drop and reopens the next business day.

Non-Matriculated Student Registration

Non-matriculated students may register, seek advisement and obtain an AVN through the Office of Student Outreach, Advisement and Retention. The office is located in Guenther Enrollment Services Center, Suite 231 and can be reached at (518) 629-7219 or coned@hvcc.edu.

Drops for Non-Payment

Students who have not completed payment by the deadlines noted will be dropped for non-payment. Students may seek to re-register into the dropped courses by contacting the Registrar's Office at registrar@hvcc.edu or by working with an Academic Advisor.

Add/Drop/Final Registration Period

• Registered students may adjust days and times during this period (not via WIReD).
  • The Registrar's Office can adjust only days and times; all other changes must be done by an Academic Advisor.
• Students registering for the first time or re-registering after being dropped for non-payment during this period, must complete a Financial Responsibility Statement to confirm registration.
• Once the add/drop/final registration period ends for each part of term, students can no longer register for classes for that part of term or enter classes late.

Refunds

The effective date of a drop/withdrawal is the date an email request or completed form is received by the Registrar's Office. This effective date is used for refund calculation. If the college is closed, students may email registrar@hvcc.edu from their HVCC email account to request a drop/withdrawal. Refunds follow published dates and deadlines and are issued by the Cashier's Office. Questions related to refunds should be addressed to the Cashier's Office at cashier@hvcc.edu or (518) 629-4504.

Course Audits for Senior Citizens (ZSR)

Hudson Valley Community College offers senior citizens aged 60 or older the opportunity to audit credit-bearing courses at no tuition charge; students are responsible for fees. College credit will not be granted for courses that are audited. Registration is based on space availability and occurs the Friday prior to each course's start date. The Arts Center courses may be audited, but students must contact the Center directly. Students who initially register as non-matriculated may not later change to senior citizen status.
