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.

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. Individual appointments are attended in-person or via Zoom based on your preference and advisor availability.  All appointments are 30 minutes. To schedule your appointment, call 716-645-3206, stop in 204 Alfiero or use the online scheduling system.

Group Advising
First-year students must attend a mandatory group advising session before scheduling an individual course planning appointment in their first semester. 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.
