ADVISING DURING ADD/DROP JANUARY 19-31, 2024

College of Arts and Sciences advisors are eager to work with every student who needs help. Virtual Drop-In advising times are available without a scheduled appointment during the drop/add period starting January 19 – January 31, 2024. You cannot schedule an appointment for advisement at this time.

Advisors will be available for Virtual Drop-Ins M-F, 8:45 AM-11:45 AM or 12:45 PM-3:45 PM.

You can also review the Navigate Video Tutorial on how to the Virtual Drop-in works https://www.buffalo.edu/studentsuccess/succeed/navigate/make-appt/virtual-drop-ins.html

Your advisor will call you on your mobile telephone, using the number listed in HUB, when you are next in the queue (Your academic advisor’s waiting list). Make sure you are prepared to answer a call, even if the number is not recognized by your phone; for example, a private, blocked, or unknown number.

Please make sure that this number is accurate. (You may update your phone number in HUB by referring to this tutorial.) If more than one phone number is listed for you in HUB, the advisor will try your mobile phone first.
