Academic Advisement

Welcome to Academic Advisement

The SUNY Schenectady Academic Advising Office was one of five institutions from across the country to be chosen for a Holistic Advising Award from the Advising Success Network (ASN).

We’re here to help you in planning your academic pathways at the College – from registering for your first class all the way through your final course before you cross the stage at Commencement.

Quality academic advising is a key to your success and your Advisor is a valuable resource to help you in attaining your life and career goals.

All advisors are available to assist you Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. in person, via email, phone call, or video chat. Please reach out to your individual advisor via email or schedule an appointment using their scheduling link (see right).
