Information Sessions

Instructions

The Purpose of an Information Session

SUNY Downstate offers Information Sessions for prospective students to provide following the services:

  1. Provide more information about the program
  2. Meet the faculty
  3. Provide advisement about prerequisite course requirements and admissions criteria (bring unofficial copies of your transcripts to the Information Session if you wish to receive course advisement).

How to Register for an Information Session

To register for an Information Session, complete the on-line registration form or send an email to admissions@downstate.edu with your name, the name of the program you are interested in, and the date of Information Session you have selected.

How to Obtain Admissions Requirements Advisement during an Information Session

If you would like course advisement during the Information Session, you should plan to bring following materials with you to the session:

  1. Download and complete a Prerequisite Course Worksheet
  2. All unofficial or student transcripts from any colleges you have attended (even you do not think the courses are applicable); and
  3. A copy of the course descriptions of any of the science courses you are using to fulfill the prerequisite courses for admission (you can usually download course descriptions from your college website or you may bring your course syllabus instead).
