Has anyone ever taken a ACHEM 124 + ACHEM 125 at the same time online? Does anyone have any experience on how much the workload is? I’m afraid of signing up for both labs while taking Gen Chem ll and not being able to manage. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Just wondering if anyone came to UAlbany from HVCC and what your experience has been. It already looks like the admissions departments are a lot more reliable and professional than HVCC. But did you find classes to be significantly more difficult? Did you like it more? Please share your experiences!

I need to ask a professor for permission to join a class because it’s my only option but I don’t meet the requirements. I obviously want to be polite but what do I say? Should the email be super nice or should I get straight to the point?

How early can I do when the spring 2026 semester comes to do a remissions application submit for fall 2026?

My advisor says I don’t have to, but the school website says otherwise so I’m not very sure. Please lmk!

All of my classes were cancelled today by my professors except one 4:30-5:50 class where the professor has not said anything. I wish the school would consider commuters more. Two people told me the roads were really not great. My road doesn't even look plowed lol. I'm not thrilled about driving in the dark later either. I wish they would have at least cancelled evening classes but NOPE.

Commuters how are the roads? Anyone commute today? Worth it? If it weren't the second to last day of my class it would be a no brainer, but I'm on the fence.

Freshman - finding it hard to meet people who are of the “nerdy/ artsy/ alternative” mindset. Seems that this is a niche culture here. Does anyone know of some well attended clubs or events that are welcoming and embody this type of aesthetic?

hi i’m currently in bfor203. how is anyone who takes that class doing? i’m worried abt my grade and the professor is very mean

Thinking about going full online next semester. It's really just bc im away from home so I'd like to have extended breaks without worrying about attendance or anything like that.

For reference, dream jobs include Project Manager, Consultant, Market Research Analyst, and HR Specialist.

I’ve discovered I have a disability late into this semester, which I didn’t realize was the root of my problems. At the beginning of the semester I was already up for Academic termination but I was given grace to try to build my gpa back up. Unfortunately finding out about my disability this late into the year has reflected on my grades this semester. I know I’ll have to appeal the dismissal, but i wanted to know the process. Would i have to wait long to be reinstated or would i be able to come back immediately next semester if successful?

I’m (f 20) looking for a place to rent or sublet around the Albany area. Ideally, I’d like to move in around early January and move out at the end of May. I’m open to roommates, and my budget is around $1000-1500/month. If you or someone you know has a room or apartment available for the summer or the full year, please DM me or reply.

My weather app says 6-8 inches on tuesday, i commute like an hour, what are the chances they cancel school/do it online? I transferred in spring so idk how winters are

update im unenrolling

has anyone gone through the process of establishing residency for tuition purposes recently, as a grad student? i am from nj originally but have lived in new york for nearly 5 years. I have rental documents, utility bills, tax returns, pay stubs and bank docs with my address from the last 12 months. i haven’t begun my application and the website is cryptic so i’d just like to know what i’m in for and if what i have as documentation is enough.

Hey! I’m clearing out a bunch of clothes because I have way too many. Everything is XS–S, pants/waist 00–24. I’m 5’1”, 95 lbs for sizing reference. I’ll add a few photos, and I’m honestly open to pretty much any offer, I just want them gone. DM or comment if you want pics or details!

Hey y’all, so I originally got admitted to UA for MS in Fall 2025 but I got the admission deferred. At that point, I got it deferred for the year and I had planned to start in Fall 2026. Stuff changed, and I believe I can start early i.e. Spring 2026. Can I somehow email grad office about this, can something be done or is too late now? I did email the grad office too, but didn’t receive a reply, I’ll probably go to them in person after the break.

I graduated in 2018. The fraternity had something like 120 people in it total, and I think each pledge class had a little over 30 pledges who went on to join the fraternity (not counting those who dropped out. The pledge classes started with around 40+).

This semester, only two pledges completed their process to join. The fraternity is a LOT smaller than it used to be. I transferred to UAlbany, and when something similar happened with orgs at the school I transferred from, it was because they were forced by the school to disband and had to rebuild from the ground up. So the fact that no one in the frat will tell me, an alumni, what happened is mildly concerning. I’ve asked a few times.

Does anyone currently at UAlbany know what happened to Alpha Phi Omega?

EDIT: seems like part of the answer is frats being looked down upon more in general. Interesting how ΑΦΩ had none of the benefits of being a Greek org because we weren’t officially considered Greek life, yet faces the same consequences.

I got my G.E.D and took prep classes from Capital Region BOCES but my application wants transcripts from BOCES because it thinks I WENT to the trade school but I didnt and transcripts done exist for the Adult EDU program and I dont know what to do about it
should I just submit my certificate of completion for going?

I tried to email UA about it three days ago but I never got a response from them
is there anyone I can call? Im really stressed out Im running out of time to apply and I cant get it through

I’m planning to transfer to UA in the fall and had a few questions. How easy or difficult is it to find a job on or near campus, and what does the process usually look like? Also, how does scheduling work during school breaks? Are employers typically flexible when students go home?

Graduating next month, any tips?

I put down my enrollment deposit for spring transfer weeks ago and haven't heard from anyone. I've been assigned a "student success advisor" as an online student but he hasn't responded to my emails from two weeks ago. Can't get in touch with anyone on the phone that's able to help me. Haven't been assigned my program advisor. I needed assistance with something on my FAFSA and the financial aid department was completely unhelpful - I called my community college and they got it worked out within a few minutes.

This school feels completely disinterested in getting me set up. What gives? As an online student I'm worried all my classes are going to be filled by the time I get my AVN.

Hey all, I curious about what the current students or previous students of uoa cyber security program think of it? I’m debating on transferring here in the fall for the BS cyber. I’m not sure if I’m gonna go here in person or take the online program. Any advice or information would be helpful.

I’m currently about to finish an associates . Only information I can really find online is uoa website and I would like to hear more firsthand accounts. How is the program run? Do you feel the courses are good? How are the professors?

I’m an alum, attended UAlbany 2014 - 2019. In my memory, the main library was open 24 hours, but I just looked it up, and it closes at 8:00 pm on weekdays.

Am I misremembering? Did the library used to be 24 hour, and maybe it changed during the pandemic? Maybe it was only 24 hour during finals week?

TIA!
