Academic Advisement

You are assigned to an academic advisor in the School of Management based on the first letter of your last name. Student service hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to Noon, 1 to 4:30 p.m.

The Undergraduate Academic Programs Office provides academic advisement to admitted accounting, business administration, and information technology and management majors in 204 Alfiero Center.

• If you are a current UB student interested in becoming a management major, you must submit a major change request before scheduling a meeting with our advisors or attend one of our major information sessions.

Individual Appointments
This format is most appropriate if you want to discuss long-range course planning or if you're experiencing academic difficulties or concerns which are best addressed in a one-on-one meeting with your advisor. To schedule your appointment, call 716-645-3206, stop in 204 Alfiero or use the online scheduling system.

Group Advising
First-semester freshmen must attend a mandatory group advising session before scheduling an individual course planning appointment. This session is an extension of orientation and is meant to prepare you for your first-semester experiences and next-semester registration. You will meet with other first-year students in the management majors and become familiar with requirements, university policies, and receive a personalized curricular plan. You may also sign up to attend special topic sessions in this format such as our Pathway Workshops or Rising Junior groups.

Express Advising
During the enrollment windows, advisors will provide Express Advising appointments.  The focus of these 20-minute advisement meetings is to provide guidance on next semester registration. If you are interested in an advising appointment focused on long-range planning or goal setting, you can schedule an individual appointment during the first nine weeks of the semester or the final week of the semester, winter breaks or over the summer.

Walk-Ins
As a current management undergrad, you may stop to ask your quick questions during our walk-in hours in 204 Alfiero. An advisor will be available Mondays through Fridays from 3 - 4:15 p.m. during the fall and spring semesters.

Final Semester Reviews
If you are registered for your FINAL semester and want the reassurance that you are appropriately registered for your last requirements to graduate, you can take advantage of Senior Walk-Ins.  Dates and time for this service will be posted in 204 Alfiero or by calling 716-645-3206.
