Welcome to UAlbany!

As you are preparing to begin the next leg of your academic journey here, we want to share some useful and fun information to help you transition to your new educational home.

Every Tuesday, we will share a few personal stories from our transfer students, along with information from advisors that we think would be helpful. 

It is always a great day to be a Great Dane!

I hadn’t stopped to consider my age or the fact that I had been away from school for over thirty years. I just jumped in with both feet and took up a full schedule of classes. Read More.
