Who is my academic advisor and what do they do?
Whether you are a freshman or a transfer, you are assigned an academic advisor in your major department.
If you are an undeclared freshman, your academic advisor is the instructor of your GEP 100, GEP 120, HON 112, MSC 101 or DCC 100 class until you decide on a major. If you are unsure about who your academic advisor is, check your academic status on the Campus Information System, or run an updated DARS report from the Campus Information System. Your advisor is always listed at the top of your DARS. If you do not see an advisor listed, please contact the First Year Experience office at 585-395-5435.
Your advisor is your main academic contact to the College. All advisors have set office hours they provide for their advisees. We highly recommend that you take advantage of these if you feel the need to talk to your advisor and other instructors. Your academic advisor will help you register for your courses each semester and provide you with your registration PIN number (you need this to register for your courses). You should meet in person with them at least once each semester to make sure you are on track academically.
