Students in Difficulty
Any kind of difficulty, academic or personal, that might interfere with their school work, should talk to their Advisor, or the Director of Undergraduate Studies, or to a CAS Advisor in 275 Park Hall, right away (645-6883; the staff person who advises Anthropology students is Wendy Orosz; wendyoro@buffalo.edu). DO NOT WAIT. You are guaranteed confidentiality, under FERPA; and most problems can be resolved through early intervention. Delay increases the difficulty of resolution.
If you have any sort of physical handicap, you should visit The UB Office of Disability Services at 26 Capen Hall (645-2608, 645-2616) for advice. You might qualify for certain accommodations to help you satisfy academic requirements.
The University Counseling Center at 120 Richmond Quad. (645-2720) offers free and confidential counseling.
If circumstances make it wise to take a semester or two off, students should apply for a Leave of Absence through the CAS Student Advisement Service, 275 Park (see above). Do not simply stop attending class if you hope to return within a year. A leave of absence assures simple re-entry, under the requirements in effect at the time of your original admission.
