Academic Advisement
Undergraduate Academic Programs Office
The Undergraduate Academic Programs Office provides academic advisement for admitted Accounting, Business Administration, and Information Technology and Management majors. We follow a Backpack-to-Briefcase advising model, meaning you will receive guidance throughout all four years from a primary role advisor. Our advisors are experienced professionals with master’s degrees.

Current Student Advising
As an admitted management student, you can take advantage of advisement throughout the year for course planning or to address academic challenges in a one-on-one setting. Appointments are 30 minutes, and you may attend in person or via Zoom, depending on your availability and preference. To schedule, use Navigate, call or visit the office.
Drop-In Advising
As a current student, you may drop-in for advisement during peak times such as add/drop (first week of semester, plus one day) and the week leading up to the resignation deadline (Week 11). Drop-in advising operates on a first-come, first-served basis to ensure timely support. No appointment is needed. To schedule, use Navigate, call or visit the office.
Transitional Advising
If you are considering a Management major, but are not yet certain, you can send an email to mgt-undergrad@buffalo.edu to request an appointment, and a scheduling link will be emailed to you. If you wish to become a management major after that meeting, you will need to complete the Major Change Application Form.
