How to Register through the UHS Program
At the beginning of the Fall/Year and Spring semesters, the UHS Office sends a “Welcome Back” email, with registration dates and instructions, to High School Primary Contacts and Instructors. This information is relayed to the students through a number of different methods, depending on the High School (emails, flyers, posts to parent and student portals, etc.)
Note: UHS will not process any registrations that are submitted after the registration deadline. Any students who submit registrations after the deadline will not be registered for UHS credit. In addition, UHS does not offer retroactive registration.
University in the High School (UHS) courses are college courses; therefore, all Farmingdale State College (FSC) course prerequisites apply.

You will receive registration information from your instructor(s). FSC sets the deadline for registration, not your high school. There are 3 UHS semesters: Fall, Year, and Spring. To be registered for FSC credit, you must submit your online registration by the appropriate deadline(s). The UHS Office also posts all instructions and deadlines on our website.

Registration Fee Structure
Program fees are payable by credit card or money order only. If you do not have access to a credit card and wish to pay by an alternative method, please contact the UHS Office as soon as possible. All fees must be paid in full prior to the payment deadline listed for any given term. If you do not pay the UHS course fee(s), you will not be registered for FSC credit. Students enrolled in grants or third-party payment programs, see section below “Grants & Third-Party Payments.”
Federal Reduced-Price Meal Program Discount
Students who participate in the Federal Reduced-Price Meal Program are eligible for
a 50% discount on
program fees. A high school administrator must verify students’ participation in the
program. If no verification
is provided, students who identify as Reduced-Price Meal Program participants will
have their invoices
adjusted to reflect the full fee.
The fee is determined by the credits assigned to the course.
| Course Credits |
Full-Fee |
Reduced-Price Meal Program |
| 1 | $50.00 | $25.00 |
| 2 | $100.00 | $50.00 |
| 3 | $150.00 | $75.00 |
| 4 | $200.00 | $100.00 |
If you are a student enrolled in the free or reduced lunch program, you are eligible for reduced tuition at the rate of 50% per course. Confirmation of eligibility is required from your school by contacting either a guidance counselor, school nurse or other school administrator.
If a student does not submit their official Federal Reduced-Price Meal Program documentation, the cost of the credit will be $50. The discount will not be applied until after the official documentation has been submitted to UHS and verified by UHS staff.
Grants & Third-Party Payments
During online registration, you must indicate if you participate in a grant or third-party payment program (e.g., Smart Scholars, P-Tech, etc.). The option will only appear if you attend a high school where this is offered. If you answer “Yes,” a high school administrator must verify your participation. No bill will be issued if you are verified. If no verification is provided, a payment link will be sent at a later date.
Since UHS courses are not categorized as tuition, enrollment does not impact future Financial Aid. Farmingdale State College counts them as fees; therefore they are ineligible for a 1098-T or any other tax form.
Withdrawal from UHS Program
Registration for University in the High School courses is handled in accordance with SUNY policies. Once you submit the registration form and proper payment, you are enrolled in the course, and are responsible for the registration fee.
If, for any reason, you want or need to drop the University in the High School course (whether or not you continue to participate in the high school course) you must tell us in writing. The following financial liability schedule will apply:
Courses that are dropped during the first week of classes will not appear on a student's transcript.
- During the first week of classes students will receive a 100% refund for courses that are dropped and for schedules that are cancelled.
- During the second week of classes students will be entitled to a 70% refund.
- During the third week they are entitled to a 50% refund and during the fourth week they are entitled to receive a 30% refund.
- After the fourth week of classes students are fully liable for all program fees.
The withdrawal process begins on the second week of classes. Starting the second week of classes students who initiate a withdrawal, course or semester withdrawal will receive a "W" for that course on their transcript. The financial liability will be determined by the refund schedule in effect at the time the withdrawal is processed.
Also in accordance with University policies, outstanding financial liability to the University results in a hold being placed on student records. This means that future registrations are not permitted and transcript requests will not be honored until the liability has been satisfied.

Course Cancellation:
Currently, the UHS Program does not have an enrollment minimum requirement. As long as the course is being offered with an approved UHS instructor, it can still run with as low as one student being enrolled for college credit.
Transferring Credit
If you attend another college, you must send an official transcript from FSC. Your high school transcript will not be sufficient. The other college may evaluate your FSC transcript and grant you transfer credit for the course(s). Acceptance by other SUNY schools is typical. General Education courses are transferable to all other SUNY institutions. While no guarantee can be offered for all American colleges and universities, we have found that such credits earned with a grade of “C” or better are accepted by a broad range of public and private institutions. If you are planning to attend another college or university, we highly recommend that you contact that school and inquire about their transfer policies before registering for a UHS course.
Here is the link to request a transcript of any UHS concurrent enrollment courses you took while in high school:
Unofficial transcripts are designed for a student’s personal record. Official transcripts are sealed transcripts sent directly to school(s) of their choosing.
When you click the link, it mentions, if you do not remember your RAM ID, enter your social security number. The registrar will be able to find your record using the other information you fill in.
If your higher education institution requests to see a course syllabus, kindly email your request to the UHS Office - UHSoffice@farmingdale.edu - In your email, you must include the following:
- Student’s First and Last Name
- High School Attended
- Course Code and Title (example: BUS 101 - Accounting)
- Instructor’s Name
- Semester and Year the Course was Taken (example: Spring 2023)
Course Evaluations
You will be asked to complete “End-of-Term” course evaluations via a link at the end of the semester. The UHS Office will provide high school staff and instructors with the link to share with you. Results of course evaluations are only shared with UHS instructors, not anyone else. This is consistent with on-campus practice.
FSC Student Conduct Policies -
As a college student, policies may be very different than when you were in high school. Be sure to take the time to review FSC’s Conduct Policies.
Policy Statement
Each member of the Farmingdale State College campus community is expected to maintain academic integrity. Farmingdale State College has developed regulations concerning academic dishonesty and integrity to protect all students and to maintain an ethical academic environment. This includes prohibiting any form of academic dishonesty as outlined below.
Academic dishonesty cannot be condoned or tolerated in a college community. Such behavior is considered a violation of the Student Code of Conduct, and students found guilty of committing an intentional act of fraud, cheating or plagiarizing will be disciplined and face penalties.
The College regards academic dishonesty as an intentional act of fraud, in which a student seeks to claim credit for the work or efforts of another individual without correct documentation, or uses unauthorized, undocumented or fabricated information in any academic exercise.
The College also considers academic dishonesty to include forging of academic documents, intentionally impeding or damaging the academic work of others, or assisting other students in acts of dishonesty. Academic dishonesty is divided into four categories which are defined as follows:
- Cheating: Intentionally using or attempting to use unauthorized materials (including all electronic devices), information or study aids in any academic exercise.
- Fabrication: Unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or citation in an academic exercise.
- Facilitating Academic Dishonesty: Knowingly helping someone commit an act of academic dishonesty.
- Plagiarism: Intentionally representing the content (e.g., words, images, sounds, etc.) design, or ideas of another as one’s own in any academic exercise. This includes content, design, or ideas in either print or electronic format.
Academic dishonesty is morally wrong, and such behavior interferes with learning and intellectual development. Therefore, all members of the campus community have the responsibility to prevent dishonesty, protect honest students, and enforce campus policies. These responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:
- faculty members have the responsibility to establish standards of academic integrity and disciplinary policies in cases of academic dishonesty (consistent with the standards and policies of the College)and to include a statement of those standards on their course syllabi.
- students have the responsibility to abstain from academic dishonesty or facilitating the dishonest behavior of others.
Violation of the academic integrity policy is strictly prohibited and may result in a disciplinary action ranging from a warning letter to probation, suspension, or dismissal from the College with a permanent transcript notation.
