New Freshman Academic Advisement

Other Things To Consider:

Read the options below and click the appropriate links for information that pertains to your academic plan.  Once you have read through the information, proceed to the bottom of this page to start the Course Request Form.

1. AP, IB, and College credit

New students sometimes enter their freshman year with college credit from Advanced Placement Exams, International Baccalaureate Exams, and local college and university courses.  As part of your Course Request Form we will ask you to list all exam and college credit that you have already earned or that you think you may earn.  (We realize that you may not have received all of your AP scores yet.)  Your advisor will take this information into account when creating your schedule.  For example, if you have taken the Psychology AP exam and your MAP requires you to take A Psy 101, your advisor will make an appropriate substitution.

6. Freshman Seminar

These classes are designed specifically for freshmen to get to know each other and a member of our faculty in a small class setting. They are great opportunities to learn about a cutting edge topic from our best faculty while developing the skills needed to be a successful UAlbany student. Most meet once a week for 55 minutes and provide students with an intimate learning experience designed to help them acclimate to the academic challenges at the University at Albany.
