Advisement Keys/Alternate Pin

An Advisement Key (Alternate PIN) is a temporary registration requirement that ensures certain students meet with a Success Coach before registering for classes. During this meeting, students can discuss their academic and career goals, confirm their major or pathway, plan upcoming courses, and learn about resources to support their success. Students who are undeclared, enrolled in specific Liberal Arts and Sciences pathways, participating in SUNY ASAP, have a GPA below 2.0, or are in select Competitive Health Programs must obtain an Advisement Key before registering. Competitive Health Program students should contact their academic department for advisement and registration assistance.
