Academic Advisement: The College at Brockport

Home/ Business & Economics / Academic Advisement

Academic advisement is provided by faculty within the school. Each student is assigned a faculty advisor upon completing the Intent to Major or the Declaration of Major form (click here for an explanation of the difference between these forms). Students should seek advisement from their assigned faculty advisor, who will have a complete file on the student, including the DARS report and the Student Advisement Key number that is needed to register for courses . In the event a student cannot see their assigned faculty advisor, Gary Johnson, the School of Business Advisement Coordinator, can provide advisement. For an appointment call (585) 395-2623.

For general questions about advisement, see Academic Advisement's home page.
