Advising Practices
All advisors in this office are available to meet with students virtually using Zoom, or over the phone. Some advisors also have in-person availability.
APPOINTMENTS
You may make an appointment with your assigned advisor by going to the Navigate site or using the Navigate mobile app. There are also 'Make an Appointment' buttons throughout this website. The modality of the appointment (phone, Zoom, or in-person) is chosen by the student when the appointment is made, depending on the specific advisor's options. If you choose a virtual appointment, the Zoom link will be in the email reminder, or your advisor will send it to you in a separate email. If you choose a phone appointment, the advisor will call the number listed in HUB as your mobile phone, so please check to be certain the correct information is there.
If you wish to speak with an advisor other than the one assigned to you according to your major, or if you need some help making an appointment, you may call the office at (716) 645-6883 during business hours and ask for assistance.
QUICK QUESTIONS
There is one advisor 'on call' for Quick Questions each day (M-F), 1:00-3:00 pm. You may use the Navigate app to make an appointment, and choose the 'drop-in advising' option. This is available only during the designated Quick Question times, and you can only speak with the on-call advisor, not necessarily your assigned advisor. You may also call the office at (716) 645-6883 and ask the receptionist to place you in the on-call advisors's 'queue'.
