Dean of Academic Planning & Advising (DAPA)

The Office of the Dean of Academic Planning & Advising assists students, faculty, and prospective students in navigating Geneseo's curriculum. We celebrate student success every day, and we also publish the Dean's List and President's list at the end of each semester. We help students explore potential majors and "right size" a major that doesn't fit. Advisors also assist students who have struggled academically through academic coaching and alignment with resources that help all students stay on track. 

Affirming our Values

The Office of Academic Planning & Advising serves all students at SUNY Geneseo, and to serve all students well, we must acknowledge that our culture remains one in which students of color, and especially black students, continue to face racial injustice. In line with President Battles’ May 31 avowal of Geneseo’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, we affirm our support of those who denounce and actively resist racism and injustice. Our educational values in the liberal arts tradition ask us to think deeply and critically, to read broadly, and to act ethically and responsibly in our immediate and wider communities. To that end, we encourage all students to explore the ways Geneseo's curriculum teaches about identity, intersectionality, and human diversity.

Quick Q&A

Q. How do courses from other colleges transfer to Geneseo?

A. Use the Transfer Equivalency Databank to determine if and how a course might transfer in from other colleges.  

Q. I am a new student planning to start next semester. How soon will I get my class schedule?

A.  Advisors start to look over your academic record after you pay your deposit, but it takes a while to review transcripts and get everything in order.  Please make sure to submit AP scores and transcripts from any college from which you earned credits -- including courses you took as "dual enrollment" during high school. We start creating schedules for new students late in the prior semester, on a rolling basis. Faculty Registration  Advisors may outreach to you to discuss your schedule.  FAQs for new student registration.
