Good advising, we know, is essential to our commitment to Buffalo State students. We will provide you with the advising resources you need to succeed in college. Your success is our success. Your advisor will assist you with many things: choosing courses, meeting your degree requirements, thinking about concentration options, taking advantage of special academic opportunities (such as research or study abroad), directing you to student services and organizations, planning for the summer, and managing your time. You will meet with your advisor at least twice throughout the semester, and are encouraged to reach out to them any time.
