  5. Academic Regulations • See “Key to UB” Student Handbook • “But my seniors told me …” does not work • Forms for everything (registration, schedule change, underloads, graduation, …) • Cheating and plagiarism – do not do either • Registration occurs in semester prior to next semester (November for spring semester; April for fall semester)

  6. Life During or After UB • Yes, it does exist • Co-operative education (internship) – eligible after two semesters at UB • On-campus work; eligible immediately • OPT for internationals • Job opportunities – almost limitless

  7. Study hard and make themost of this opportunity

  8. Guidance and Help at UB • Academic advisor – each student is assigned to one; see this person to register, receive information about your academic progress, other stuff (check office hours, send email – don’t just show up) • GA’s for certain courses, other work • Project advisor • Department chair • Counseling Center – very important
