The final exam schedule can be found online at src.buffalo.edu/schedule/finalexamschedule . Encourage your students to look at their schedule to make sure there are no “exam conflicts” (i.e., two exams during the same examination period or three exams scheduled on one day), and to begin planning their study time.
ALL STUDENTS should make an appointment with an Academic Advisor at least once a semester for course selection assistance as well as other academic strategies for success.
*NOTE: If you are a FIRST SEMESTER FRESHMAN, avoid an Advising (A) checkstop! Schedule your MANDATORY APPOINTMENT WITH AN ACADEMIC ADVISOR as soon as possible before registering for Spring 2010 classes!
**If you are a first semester freshman who particularly came to UB undecided about a major, then be sure that you have attended your MANDATORY ADVISING APPOINTMENT with STUDENT ADVISING SERVICES by no later than Friday, November 6, 2009. Call us today at 645-6013 or stop by 109 Norton Hall to arrange your appointment!
Monday, October 18 kicks off an entire week devoted to helping students reach their full potential as leaders. The Center for Student Leadership and Community Engagement is sponsoring a number of events and activities including a presentation by Motivational Speaker Elaine Penn. A complete list of events can be found on the Leadership Week website.
UB’s Family Weekend, an opportunity for parents and family members to join their students at UB, will be held on October 9-11. Highlights of the weekend include An Evening with Whoopi Goldberg on Friday, UB Bulls Football on Saturday, and a Family Brunch on Sunday. There are also several free events throughout the weekend. For a complete schedule, and to register for Family Weekend, students can visit familyweekend.buffalo.edu.
Course registration for Spring 2010 will begin over the next several weeks for most first-year students. Students’ registration windows (i.e., the dates they can begin registering) are based on the number of college credits they have already completed, and can be found by logging on to MyUB. It is important that your students resolve any outstanding checkstops, meet with their academic advisor , and review the spring course offerings well before their registration window opens.
Faculty can be one of your greatest allies whether it is for getting extra help in a course, writing a letter of recommendation, securing an internship or independent study or just learning more about a particular topic. The sooner you become comfortable approaching faculty, the better off you’ll be. This session will offer tips and suggestions on how to approach and communicate effectively with faculty members.
