Academy Advisement

The office is providing services to students via e-mail, telephone, and online zoom appointments, with limited in-person services available. We recommend that you continue to work with us remotely - it's convenient and easy!

All visitors to campus are required to show proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test no more than seven days prior to coming to campus. Masks are required for in-person services.

The Academy Advisement Office and Office of the Registrar are excited to announce that Winter & Spring '22 advisement begins this month. You can register for Winter Session beginning on October 26, 2021, and for the Spring '22 Semester starting the week of October 25, 2021.

Course Format
Winter and spring courses will be delivered in 4 formats. Please check the classes in CUNYfirst to learn which courses will be taught online synchronously, online asynchronously, hybrid or in-person. Students taking in-person and/or hybrid courses will need to be vaccinated.
