Office of Academic Advising
The Office of Academic Advising is a central source of academic information at The College of Saint Rose. It is located in room 337, St. Joseph Hall (3rd floor). Here, students receive advice on choosing a major, minor, or concentration, as well as information on College policies and procedures in general. Students wishing to change their major should also contact the Office of Academic Advising.
Academic Advisors
In their first year at the College of Saint Rose, all incoming, matriculated students have two advisors—a General Advisor (in the Office of Academic Advising or the Field Placement & Advising Office), and a Faculty Advisor (in their major). General Advisors help students transition to the College, making sure they know how to access campus resources, read degree requirements, prepare for course registration, and, in general, get connected on campus. Though Faculty Advisors provide assistance in many of these same areas, their primary focus is on course-selection in, and questions about, their advisees’ major. In addition, Faculty Advisors act as important resources as students prepare for internships, graduate school, research opportunities, and/or their first professional position. Finally, Faculty Advisors distribute Alternate PINs, allowing students to register for classes.
Field Placement and Advising Office
Students majoring in programs in the School of Education who need assistance beyond that provided by their Faculty Advisors should go to the Field Placement and Advisement Office, located in Room 144 of the Lally School of Education. These programs include Childhood Education, Communication Sciences and Disorders, Early Childhood Education, Early Childhood Education/Special Education, and Special Education/Childhood Education. (Please note that students studying Adolescence Education programs will not proceed through this office, but rather through the Office of Academic Advising).
