Connect with Students and Staff via Chat

We invite all prospective students to connect with current students and staff via our chat platform. Get your questions answered and make a new friend! 

Easy-to-Follow Steps:

  1. After reading through the profiles under Students or Staff, select a UB Student or Staff member to chat with
  2. Select "Create Your Account"
  3. Complete your quick profile 
  4. Adjust your “Notification Preferences” under “Settings” to receive replies via email, SMS or What's App

Response Time: When chatting with a student, most messages will receive a quick response, but some may take up to 24 hours. Feel free to ask them any questions about their major, what it's like to be a student, housing questions, etc. Staff members reply to questions during working hours Monday-Friday from 8:30-5 p.m. EST with a 24 hour response time in most instances. A staff member is the best point of contact for admissions related questions, application and enrollment steps, the transfer process and portfolio advice.
