Whether you will be a new student to the UB community or a returning member to campus this fall semester, it is important that you know where to find information to ensure your academic and college success!
Have you bookmarked the following websites to ensure your college success?
- Student Response Center (SRC) - Provides information on the Official Academic Calendar, tuition and billing, financial aid, as well as your student record (such as transcripts and address/name change information). It also links to UB’s Class Schedules and information on how to register using Web Registration (UB’s on-line registration system) and BIRD (UB’s touch-tone telephone system).
- Undergraduate Catalog - Is your contract with UB, which outlines your Degree Requirements; General Education Requirements; Academic Programs at the University; Course Expectations, Grading; Dean’s List; Academic Standards Review, and so much more!
- Undergraduate Advising - Helps you to make the best use of UB’s academic advising system and university resources. From First Year Student resources for new freshmen and transfer students to continuing UB students, all undergraduate students can benefit from these excellent resources.
Have any further academic questions or concerns? Contact an academic advisor to assist you!
If you are taking a UB summer course(s), be sure that you know all of the Summer 2008 Registration Add, Drop and Resign Dates.

Good luck with your summer classes!
UB Spring 2008 grades will be posted on MyUB and your transcripts on Monday, May 19, 2008. Be sure that you are checking your grades and contacting your academic advisor to make any needed adjustments to your fall semester schedule.
Keep These Suggestions in Mind:
- If you received a grade of C- or lower in the first part of a two-course sequence (such as chemistry or calculus), chances are you will not be adequately prepared to successfully continue on with the second course in the sequence. Contact an academic advisor immediately to discuss your options and to help you make any needed adjustments.
- Are you comfortable with your amount of registered credit hours this fall? On average, students complete 15 credits a semester. To be considered a full-time student, students need to be registered for at least 12 credits a semester. A full-time student needs to ideally complete a minimum of 24 UB credit hours an academic year.
- Did you work too many hours this spring? If you plan to work during the fall semester, organize your job to work for you! It is recommended that students limit themselves to no more than 15 hours of work per week as a full-time student in order to ensure that needed time is not being taken away from studying.
- Have other questions or concerns? Remember that academic advisors are available throughout the summer months to assist you, so contact an advisor TODAY!
