Non-degree Students | SUNY Oswego

Activating your myOswego account will allow you to register for classes, pay your bill, and access other student services. This process is for new, non-degree, undergraduate students who have not previously attended or applied to SUNY Oswego.

You’ll need your Social Security number to complete the activation process. Start by logging in below to activate your account.

Activate Account

High School Students

If you're still in high school and want to take classes at SUNY Oswego, please contact our Admissions Office at 315.312.2250 or email [email protected].

Continuing Education

If you’ve already earned a bachelor’s degree and want to take additional courses at the undergraduate or graduate level, you’ll need to apply online through our Graduate Office before registering.

International Students

International students without a Social Security number should register using the International Student myOswego Account Form.

Need Help?

If you run into problems call the Registrar’s Office at 315.312.2136 or email us at [email protected].

Prerequisite Waiver

If you are a non-matriculated student, the system may not have records of your past coursework. SUNY Oswego allows you to register for courses with prerequisites, but you’ll need to provide an unofficial transcript to the instructor before the class begins.

The instructor reserves the right to remove you from the course if you haven’t met the requirement. Instructions for this process appear in your myOswego account:

Select your course
Click the “Non-Degree Student Temporary Prerequisite Registration Waiver” link
Enter the CRN
Then, complete the actual registration step separately

Note: Submitting the waiver alone does not register you for the course—you must complete both steps.

LakerNet ID

A Laker NetID provides an email address and access to various campus network services. Students can activate their ID by visiting Laker NetID Activation. Once activated, an account may be used to login to our online registration system, myOswego, instead of using your Student ID.

The Laker NetID also allows access to other systems and services, including:

Brightspace (needed for online courses)
Library
Computer labs
Parking
Other campus network services

Registrar staff cannot see, update, or reset Laker NetID information. Passwords are case-sensitive and must be entered exactly as created. If you experience problems logging in with your Laker NetID, call the CTS Help Desk at 315.312.3456.

Newly admitted undergraduate students should contact Admissions at 315.312.2250 for login assistance.

For Alumni

Alumni who do not have a Laker NetID will continue to use the campus ID and personal identification number (PIN) to log on to myOswego.

If you forget your PIN, you have two options:

Come in person with a valid picture ID to the Registrar's Office, 301 Culkin Hall.
Call the Registrar's Office at 315.312.2136 and answer your "PIN Hint Question."
