Here are some important next steps, requirements and information.
Required Health Forms
All incoming students MUST complete health forms before Orientation (if you did not attend in October) in order to be able to register for spring 2018 classes. Go to https://myhealth.binghamton.edu to access the required online forms. (You will need your user name and password to log in.)
Health Insurance Requirement
You are automatically enrolled in the Student Accident and Sickness Plan (University health insurance) unless you waived it by completing the online Health Insurance Waiver by the sixth week of classes.
Final Transcripts

Missing final transcripts may prevent you from registering for future semester courses and hold up your financial aid disbursement.
If you have not already done so:
