Solutions for Parents
Academic Advisement Services
The Academic Advisement Team is here to assist students with a variety of services including:
Course Selection and Registration
Academic Advisors are available to help students plan their course selection to meet their degree requirements. Students are encouraged to meet with their faculty advisor or a member of the Academic Advisement Team each semester.
The Office of the Registrar lists key dates students must be aware of to register for their courses. Additionally, students are encouraged to utilize tutorial videos to familiarize themselves with the registration process in advance of their registration date.
Grading and Academic Information Access
Student records are protected under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA). This act prohibits SUNY Oneonta from releasing academic information, such as grades, majors and enrollment status without the consent of the student. The Academic Advisement Team strongly suggests that students communicate with their families about academic matters, when appropriate. This supports Advisement's mission statement to nurture the development of self-sufficient, responsible students.
