Sometimes completing your degree can seem like an obstacle course.
You're not just dealing with coursework and exams - there are lectures, classmates, flat-mates, landlords, employers, family, student loans, university red tape and all kinds of hassles which can crop up at the most inconvenient times!
If you're having trouble with any aspect of university life, Albany Students' Association Inc. can help.
We've had to negotiate our way through the same obstacle course - we understand your point of view.
ASA provides a free, prompt, confidential and quality support and advice service to students.
Besides lending a sympathetic ear, we can offer advice about your rights, university procedures and other services you might find helpful.
We can also help you resolve disputes by speaking on your behalf or by attending meetings with you for support.
There is a drop-in service every weekday during semester from 1 p.m. – 3 p.m.
The ASA Advocacy Coordinator provides professional advocacy services to students who might be struggling with issues such as Academic Grievance, Hardship, and course-related problems.
