College Link

College Link is a program open to qualified Binghamton–area secondary school and home schooled students who wish to take courses in the Arts and Sciences during their Junior and Senior years. Courses taken carry regular University credit and appear on an official University transcript. College Link students are considered Continuing Education and Outreach students and are not admitted into a degree-granting program at Binghamton University.

Summer Session 2008 and College Link

College Link applicants who complete their junior year by June 2008 must consult with their guidance counselor, and then apply to the College Link Program by July 5, 2008. If admitted, such students can select up to eight credits of introductory undergraduate courses for which they are qualified, and may continue for fall and spring terms. Applicants wanting to start in summer, contact their counselor for the University's College Link application and recommendation, and comply with Binghamton University's health requirements. Housing is not provided.

All new and current College Link students complete the Summer Session Payment Form.
