Advisement
Your academic success starts with great advising.
At UB, we want to help you reach your goals—so connecting with your advisor early and often is key. Your advisor is your go-to resource for course planning, major requirements and career prep.
All new first-year and transfer students:
Start by connecting with the College of Arts and Sciences Student Advisement and Services.
Pro Tip: Complete your required (core) communication courses early to stay on track for graduation.
Note: UB policy allows you to retake a class only once to replace a low or failing grade. If you struggle in a core class, work closely with your advisor to make sure you pass on your second attempt. Students who do not pass a core class after two tries will need to select a new major.
- Bring your DARS report to every advising appointment
- See your advisor before registration or at the end of each semester
- Address questions or concerns directly with your advisor first
- For course concerns, start with your instructor, then Azita, then Dr. Rintamaki, and finally Dr. Green if needed
Are you receiving important listserv emails from the department?
