The college provides a supportive academic advising system, including professional advisers housed in the Harpur Academic Advising Office; faculty advisers and other mentors; and peer advisers. The Harpur Academic Advising Office provides assistance to all students, and serves as the primary advising center for students who have not yet declared a major. Students who have declared a major also receive specialized advising through their home departments. Harpur offers specially trained advisors for pre-law and pre-health advising.
To help students track their progress, the online Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) details a student’s completed and remaining requirements. The combination of dedicated advisers and DARS, coupled with the college's commitment to providing timely access to courses required for graduation, helps students stay on track toward graduation. You can also investigate information on majors and minors at Harpur.
Academic requirements, standards, and policies are important, but the details can sometimes be confusing. For information on dropping or adding courses late in the semester, academic probation and suspension, check out important petition forms and policies.
Academic success doesn’t just happen by itself; it takes careful planning and effort. Even students who enter Harpur with strong high school records can benefit from special academic assistance at some point in their college careers. But there are ways you can plan for success. Two offices in particular can help you succeed academically. The Writing Center assists students with general writing skills or particular writing assignments. The Center for Academic Excellence provides tutoring for a wide range of courses. Students who are not native English speakers can find help through the ESL Program. Academic advisors at the Harpur Academic Advising Office or in a specific department can also help you develop a strategy for academic success.
At the core of a university education is mutual integrity and trust. Students present their own work for fair evaluation by faculty. Under the Student Academic Honesty Code, academic dishonesty involves the misappropriation of academic or intellectual credit to oneself or to the discredit of others. The consequences of dishonesty at Binghamton are serious, and can include suspension or dismissal from the university. Harpur College procedures apply to academic honesty cases in Harpur classes.

If you have questions about class expectations, ask your instructor for clarification. The Writing Center can help you with the proper use and acknowledgment of sources.
