Everything you need for life outside the classroom
Congratulations, you are now registered for a partial schedule of UB courses. But you’re not done yet ... Be sure to complete each of the following to finalize your UB class schedule.
Visit myub.buffalo.edu and click on the HUB Student Center to view your class schedule. Under the "Manage Classes" tile, you will be able to view your classes, including the days, times, instruction mode/campus, and instructor of each course. You can also select the “Weekly Schedule Tab” to view your schedule in a weekly format.
To begin, get to know the UB Curriculum and how it relates to your first year, at buffalo.edu/getstarted.
All students are required to complete a UB Seminar course in their first semester. Browse the selection of these “big ideas” courses and choose one that fits both your interests and your existing class schedule (be sure to consider times and locations). To choose your UB Seminar, go to buffalo.edu/ubseminar.
Please note: If you are an engineering major, your advisor may register you for a UB Seminar specific to your program (look for the 199 course number on your schedule).
Some students may be advised to complete a Global or Thematic Pathway course during their first semester. If this applies to you, your advisor will alert you and provide guidance on how to choose and register yourself for a Pathway course. To explore and select Pathway courses, go to path-finder.apps.buffalo.edu.
Add the courses you selected to your existing schedule through the HUB Student Center. For the best selection of courses, complete this within 5 days. After registering, view your class schedule again.
A typical first semester class schedule is made up of courses that fulfill major and/or UB Curriculum (general education) requirements. To graduate, students need a minimum of 120 credits consisting of requirements from their major, UB Curriculum, and allowable electives. Students are recommended to complete at least 15 credits each semester.
Your major is a focused concentration in one area of study that leads to a degree. Your major may require you to complete a range of credits, depending on the field and degree you choose.
Don’t worry. Many students need to explore at this point in their college experience. After initial registration, your advisor will direct you to resources that will help you select courses that meet the UB Curriculum requirements and help you discover your academic interests.
The UB Curriculum is our innovative, student-centered approach to general education for all undergraduates. Courses in the UB Curriculum will challenge you to connect concepts across experiences, and that is how they become more than requirements—they will inspire your intellectual discovery and prepare you to succeed in a diverse and dynamic world.
Appropriate course placement is based on previous high school, transfer grades, test credit, or applicable assessment scores.
Tell your advisor and have official score reports sent to UB Admissions, 12 Capen Hall, Buffalo, NY 14260. Submit your scores.
In order for your academic advisor to enroll you in the appropriate level of math, you must complete the MRA, particularly for majors that require calculus. Schedule your MRA as soon as possible through the Navigate app.
If you’ve taken or are currently taking college-level courses, tell your advisor and have an official transcript sent to UB Admissions, 12 Capen Hall, Buffalo, NY 14260 or ub-admissions@buffalo.edu.
Class schedules are designed to meet each student’s individual interests, needs and abilities, and to fulfill different UB Curriculum or major requirements. You may not take the same required courses at the same time as your friends.
Your schedule was built to ensure you are meeting requirements toward your intended degree program.
In most cases you will be adding UB Curriculum courses to your schedule. These requirements are mandatory, so course drops are not permitted. Other than adding any additional courses you need (detailed on the front), changes to schedules are not permitted at this time. Contact your academic advisor if you have a circumstance that requires a change to your schedule.
As a registered UB student, you are now financially and academically liable for your courses. You can view billing dates on the Student Accounts website.
You must complete the Not Enrolling at UB form and notify your academic advisor. There are deadlines for dropping courses, so contact your academic advisor right away to ensure all of your enrolled courses are dropped. If you believe you’ll be able to enroll at UB for a future semester, contact UB Admissions.
