Fredonia advisors enjoying a summer day on campus

Academic Advising Services

Academic Advising Services at the State University of New York at Fredonia empowers students in the development of meaningful educational plans consistent with their academic, personal and professional goals through direct service to the student and collaboration with faculty, staff, and other campus resources.

Speak with an Academic Advisor

Regularly connecting with your academic advisor is crucial for your success. Advisors possess deep expertise in navigating degree requirements, course selection, and campus resources. By proactively meeting with your advisor, you gain personalized guidance to stay on track academically, explore opportunities that align with your interests and career aspirations, and address any challenges you may be facing. 

When you schedule an appointment with an advisor you will have the option of either meeting in-person or via Zoom.

After scheduling a date/time for an appointment, an Academic Advisor will email you instructions and a link to access the meeting.

Advising Assistance

Maybe you want more time to explore your options, or maybe you're torn between a few majors, or perhaps you don't know what you want to study and that's ok. Unlike other colleges that may simply declare a student 'undeclared,' Fredonia enrolls undecided/Liberal Arts students into the Academic Exploration Program. This program offers programmatic and professional guidance, all of which is designed to help students acclimate to the campus, explore interests, build connections, and make informed major and career decisions.

  • Registered for a Liberal Arts Seminar course designed specifically to help students explore majors or interest and become more connected with the college
  • Opportunities for major engagement, without being declared in said major
