EXPLORE SUNY
Welcome to SUNY Oneonta's Explore SUNY Program! We offer a variety of online courses – primarily during the summer and winter sessions – and several graduate degree programs that are either completely or partially online.
All of our online courses are taught and taken via the Brightspace Learning Management System.
How to Apply
- Fill out the Non-degree application and return to us via scan/email, fax or mail.
- We will only need an unofficial transcript if the course that you want to register for has a prerequisite.
- We strongly encourage you to seek written prior approval from your home institution before enrolling in courses at SUNY Oneonta to make sure you will be able to transfer the course credit back to your home school. If you plan to transfer credit from SUNY Oneonta, you will need to submit a written request to the Registrar's Office for an official transcript to be sent to your home institution.
- If you are a high school student, you may take courses the summer before or during your senior year, as long as you have completed or are in the process of completing Regents requirements.
- If you are interested in taking graduate-level courses as a non-degree student, you must receive permission from the department chair. Contact the Office of Continuing Education for more information about this process.
