As registration for Spring 2013 approaches, we hope that you have read your emails from the Center for
Advising and Academic Services informing you on the process. However if you haven't or you’re a new
student, below are some helpful tips to make your registration experience a treat and not a trick!
1.
Prior to registration: Make an appointment with your faculty advisor. You can view your assigned
advisor through your degree works audit under your self service banner tool in your my.marist.
2.
Before your appointment: Review your degree audit. Print a copy of it and bring it to your session.
3.
During your appointment: MAKE SURE YOU GET ENABLED! Verify with your advisor that they
have enabled you to register. If you are not enabled to schedule classes for the Spring semester, it will
decrease your chances of getting into classes you will need. Your athletic advisor can NOT enable
you so do not skip this step!
4.
During registration: Know when you register. This is based on hours earned, and classification.
More information will be coming soon through the student-athlete list serv as to when one registers
for classes and how the process works.
Important Reminders

Remember that if you have a question and are not sure about something pertaining to your schedule,
contact your faculty advisor. It’s better to seek help in advance than to wait to the last minute and jeopardize your chances of getting into a course you may need. Your athletic advisor can assist you with piecing your athletic and class schedule together, but your faculty advisor is the most crucial part of this process!

Friends Of Jaclyn Walk –On Sunday October 7, over 150
Marist student-athletes participated in the First Annual
Friends of Jaclyn Angel Walk. It's purpose was to raise
awareness for the brain tumor community and remember and
honor the 50+ children who have passed away that participated in Friends of Jaclyn. About 4,000 children a year get diagnosed with a brain tumor and survival rate is less than 30%.
350 people attended the walk and raised about $5,000. Arquimedes DelaCruz (men's cross country) designed the t-shirts
and signage for the event. SAAC and the Women's Basketball
team made posters for the Friends of Jaclyn Children that
have passed away. As part of the walk, a brief ceremony was
held and doves were released to honor the children. The Marist Sirens also participated by singing at the
event. Almost all sports were represented which only proves that Marist student-athletes are supporters of
one another and are always willing to give back to their community.
PINK OUT GAME- The Marist Women's Soccer team hosted their annual Pink
Out game Friday, September 21 against Binghamton at 7 p.m. The Red Foxes also
welcomed the Miles of Hope Breast Cancer Foundation, a Hudson Valley-based
organization that provides funding and support services for people affected by
breast cancer in the local community. The t-shirts and signage were designed by
Marist swimmer Stephanie Bonifacio who was honored at the beginning of the
game. The team sold t-shirts and fundraised throughout the community, met with
breast cancer survivors and also held a meet and greets with local youth squads after the game. Additionally, the Red Foxes had a variety of raffle prizes to benefit Miles of Hope.
Marist Athletics also recognized breast cancer survivors prior to the game with a special on-field ceremony.
The event would be a major success and over 1500 attended.

Baseball joins Team Impact
The Marist baseball team, in conjunction with Team IMPACT, held a "draft day"
ceremony for 17-year-old Nick Scianna of Wappingers Falls this past Saturday.
Team IMPACT is a non-profit organization based in Quincy, Mass., that matches
children who have life-threatening illnesses with collegiate sports teams. In December 2010, Nick was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL), the
most common form of leukemia found in children. Typical ALL treatment consists
of a three-phased plan that spans over the course of three-plus years. The first phase
of treatment is an in-patient chemotherapy regiment that aims to send a person in to
remission within 30-45 days. With his positive outlook, he is successfully fighting this disease, and has
been able to be around the Red Foxes for team-related activities thus far this semester.
Marist baseball told Nick's story on Saturday and presented him with a game jersey and other items to
welcome him to the team. Nick will participate with the baseball team for the entire academic year.
