Undergraduate Advising

All UB students are assigned to a professional academic advising center based upon their major and/or affiliation with a special program. It is recommended that you meet with your advisor at least once per semester. Undergraduate pre-pharmacy and pharmaceutical sciences students may seek advisement by emailing questions to pharm-admit@buffalo.edu or scheduling advising appointments through Navigate.

Not a pre-pharmacy or pharmaceutical sciences student? Email pharm-admit@buffalo.edu to set up an advising appointment to learn about our majors.

To locate the advising office for a different academic major, see the academic advising directory. 

Current PharmD and Pharmaceutical Sciences students are available to chat with prospective and current students. Consider this a great complement to meeting with your academic advisor.

• Assist students in developing educational and career plans consistent with life goal(s).
• Provide accurate information regarding academic progression, degree requirements and other policies.
  
• Help students access campus resources.
• Assist students in overcoming personal, academic and career planning issues.
• Identify conditions that may impede achievement and formulate solutions.
• Increase retention by providing a personal contact, connecting them to the institution and available resources.

When you are not meeting with your advisor, the University at Buffalo and the SPPS Office of Student Success and Engagement have developed the following tools to assist you in understanding your progress and help you develop an academic plan.

We will register new undergraduates for the first semester. After the first semester, you will be responsible for registering yourself. We will help you to make sure you complete all prerequisite courses and UB Curriculum requirements. We also suggest taking PHM 101 and 201 to learn more about the field. You may benefit from additional programs, such as combined degrees. Talk with your advisor about your options. 

As a UB student, you have access to so many tools to help you succeed:

• Accessibility Resources
• Counseling Services
• Health Promotion
• Financial Aid 
• Experiential Learning Network
• UB Scholarship Portal
• UB Student Emergency Fund
