Although you will be studying online through the SUNY Learning Network and you may never visit the University at Albany campus, you will be considered a University at Albany student, with all the rights, privileges and responsibilities guaranteed by that status. Most support services available to students on campus are also available to you at a distance by phone, email or the Internet. Below you will find the most frequently requested services. Non-matriculated and matriculated graduate students can get advice on course selection from their advisor in their department.
All students are able to communicate with the academic offices and the faculty by email.
To use many of our databases and services, you must have a valid University at Albany barcode, which you should receive following your registration as a student. The libraries' staff is eager to assist you with your information and research needs. Barbara Via, Head of the Dewey Graduate Library, coordinates library services for distance learners. The Center is also able to provide assistance for writers producing essays for graduate school admissions, resumes, and creative works.
