Academic Advisement

Academic advisement is available in 204 Alfiero Center (716-645-3206)

The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m.  The School of Management does not assign students to advisors, but students may choose to see the same advisor throughout their programs if they wish to do so. It is the student's responsibility to seek advisement.

Undergraduate Academic Programs Staff

Academic/career advisement is available in the following formats:

1. Small Group Advisement Sessions

   These sessions answer the questions, “What do I need to take next semester?” and “Is what I have planned appropriate?” These group sessions are offered each semester to provide students with a brief review of basic requirements and a personalized semester recommendation prepared by an academic advisor. Advisors address individual questions during and at the end of the session. Online pre-registration is required for these sessions. Please click here to schedule a session. All attendees must come prepared with their DARS report and any questions to be discussed with an academic advisor. 

2. Senior Grad Reviews

   Students scheduled to graduate within two semesters (the current semester plus one remaining semester) and who simply want a graduation review may call the office to request a final year review. An academic advisor will review a senior’s record and send the final review by e-mail.

3. Individual Appointments

   Individual appointments are also available; however, students may experience longer wait time for a scheduled individual appointment. Call or stop in the office to schedule individual appointments. 

4. Walk-in Advisement

   Walk-in advising hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9 to 11 a.m, Wednesday from 10 to 11 a.m. and Monday through Friday from 2 to 4 p.m. for quick questions on a first-come, first-served basis. Use this option if you have general questions or need clarification on a requirement or course offering. For long-range planning, students should use the small group and individual appointment advisement options. Students need to come prepared with an up-to-date printout of their DARS report and a registration plan or list of questions to be discussed with an academic advisor.

5. Academic Advising and Career Exploration Digital Sessions
