The Saunders College is committed to providing advising services throughout a student's academic program. Once enrolled, Undergraduate Students will be assigned to three types of advisors who will be able to assist them in various ways. Each advisor comes into a student's academic life at different times, but you would be missing a lot if you do not get to know and use all three. They are:
1. Academic Staff Advisor
Assists with administrative support, registration, records, scheduling, referrals to other RIT resources and units and general advisement. View Academic Staff Advisor Walk In Hours
2. Faculty Advisor
Available for questions about courses for their major, and is an integral part of the cooperative education process and career assessment and planning parts of a student's life. Faculty advisors are assigned once a student enrolls in the COB and will be a member of the academic department that hosts the student's major. If you need to find out who this person is, and where their office is located, feel free to stop in the Student Services Office and ask.
3. Co-op & Career Services Advisor
Assists with resume, interviewing skills, co-op and placement planning and process. Meet the Co-op advising office staff.
Graduate Advising
Prospective Graduate Business Students are encouraged to contact Rupa Patel, Assistant Director of Graduate Admissions, to schedule an appointment.
Current Graduate Business Students may contact Ms. Sonya A. O'Neil, Graduate Advisor, for academic advising questions and issues.
All graduate students will have many opportunities throughout their program to interact with the faculty, staff, and Dean's of the College in the form of workshops, informal receptions, and their academic coursework.
