Office of Advising

The Office of Advising assists students, faculty, and prospective students in navigating SUNY 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 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 SUNY 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.
