How to Log On and Request a Password

Getting Started

One week prior to the official course start date you may request a password and gain access to your SLN course on the Internet. It is strongly recommended that you access your course prior to the official start date of the class.

If you have not previously taken an SLN Class, you should test your system using the link at the bottom of the following page: http://sln.suny.edu/sln_gettingstarted.htm. After testing your system, you will need to request or reactivate your password on the SLN web site for access into your course(s).

It is the responsibility of the student to log in and participate in the online course(s). Failure to log in and participate may cause you to be dropped from the course. An instructor initiated drop does not excuse you from financial responsibility for the course.

You will have access to the course one week prior to the start of the course. It is strongly recommended that you access your course prior to the course start date.

Request/Reactivate your SLN Password

To request/reactivate your SLN Password go to: https://sln.suny.edu/ .

• Select the link for “Students” and either enter your SLN username and password OR follow the instructions to create your new SLN account.
• If you require assistance with this process, you may email the SLN Help Desk or call them at 1-800-875-6269.

Accessing Your Course (once your password is activated)

When requesting access to your course(s), be sure you select the correct course and section number. Often times, there will be more than one section of the same course and you need to have access to the session you are officially registered for. If you make an error in course selection, you may make changes in the SLN Student Commons. If you need technical assistance, you may contact the SLN help desk at 1-800-875-6269.

Withdrawing from an SLN Course

You are registered at FLCC and should follow FLCC campus' policies that are outlined below. You should also contact the SLN Help Desk to make the necessary modifications to your access to the SLN system.

DROP AND WITHDRAWAL PROCEDURE

Students must initiate drop slips during the first 20 calendar days of the semester with the Registrar's Office in order to get a refund or reduction in tuition liability. Drops may be initiated via an email to Registrar@flcc.edu. Once the course starts a corresponding e-mail from the instructor must be sent to this address also. A verbal notice by a student to an instructor, advisor or any FLCC staff member does not constitute a formal course withdrawal. Lack of attendance does not reduce tuition & fees, therefore, timely withdrawals will ensure proper credit to your student account. Students who are matriculated at FLCC should also inform the Center for Advisement and Personal Development if you decide to withdraw from the College. Please call the Center at (585) 394-FLCC ext. 7267.

REFUND POLICY - CREDIT COURSES

If tuition has been paid by cash, check or credit card, you may be entitled to a refund if timely drop slips or withdrawal documentation are submitted to the Registrar's Office (ext. 7622) or Registrar@flcc.edu .

The date on which the Registrar receives the forms or notification will be used to determine refunds. To receive a 100% refund of already paid tuition and fees, the completed forms must be received by the Registrar's Office one business day prior to the start of the semester..

The schedule for tuition refund is may be accessed at www.flcc.edu/bursar/faq.html#refund

Refunds of full- and part-time fees occur when withdrawal occurs one business day prior to the start of the semester.

If the College cancels courses that change your status from full- to part-time, the appropriate tuition and fees will be refunded. If a student changes from full- to part-time status (11 or less credit hours/semester) after the semester has started, a refund will be issued according to the schedule for tuition refund.

If you paid by cash, check, credit card or money order, a College refund check will be issued.

STUDENTS RECEVING FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID AWARDS-RETURN OF TITILE IV FUNDS POLICY

Federal regulations (the Higher Education Amendments of 1998, regulation 34 CFR part 668.22) require each school to have a written policy for the refund and repayment of Federal Title IV aid received by students who withdraw during a term for which Title IV aid payment has been received. These policies are effective only if the student completely terminates enrollment (i.e., cancels his/her registration, withdraws, or is dismissed) or stops attending classes before completing more than 60 percent of the enrollment period. Please refer to the College Catalog or contact the Bursar’s Office (ext.7229) or their bulletin board for details and more information.

DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS POLICY:

Students with delinquent accounts with the College may be denied the privilege of pre-registering for the next semester. Also their statement of grades and/or official transcripts will be withheld until their delinquent balance is paid in full at the Bursar’s Office. It is the College policy to assign delinquent accounts to a collection agency. After proper notification, students who have an unpaid balance in their account for the semester may be assigned to a collection agency. Students will be responsible for the outstanding balance, PLUS all the late payment fees, collection agency fees in the range of 33.33% to 66.67%, court costs and attorney fees. Furthermore, the collection agency will notify all credit reporting agencies of your outstanding debt. It is, therefore, important and to your advantage to pay account balances in full when they are due.

You will have access to the course one week prior to the start of the course. It is strongly recommended that you access your course prior to the course start date.
