Business Administration Advisement

Advising Corner

Faculty AdvisingStudents at Fredonia bear full responsibility in familiarizing themselves with all the graduation requirements in effect at the time they were admitted to the university. However, the Business Administration department has always taken the academic advising of its students seriously. Our objective is to help each student take courses that are relevant to their major and career goals while completing the graduation requirements in a timely fashion. To that end, as soon as a student is admitted to one of our programs, they are assigned a full-time faculty member as their Academic Advisor. Our belief is that through mutual communication between the advisor and the advisee on a periodic basis, this objective will be achieved.

In order to find out who your faculty advisor is:

  • Log on to “Your Connection”
  • Click on “Student Services”
  • Click on “Student Records”
  • Click on “Academic Transcript”
  • Click on “Submit”
  • See your advisor’s name on the top left corner of the transcript.
  • While on Business Administration Department’s website, click on Faculty/Staff and then click on your advisor’s name for their office location and office hours.
