UB Undergraduate Advising

Understanding UB's Advising System

Academic advising at the University at Buffalo is delivered through a network of professional advising centers. Students are assigned to an academic advising unit based upon their declared or approved major (in a professional school or the College of Arts and Sciences). Students who have not selected a major will be advised by the staff in Student Advising Services with the following exceptions. Students enrolled in the Academic Challenge and Enrichment (ACE) Program, Daniel J. Acker Scholars Program, Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), and University Honors College, as well as student athletes, will be served by their unique program offices. These students will also have access to advisors within their chosen major area.

There are a total of 12 academic advising units on campus that serve undergraduate students.
