Academic Support & Advising
Advising
Every degree-seeking student at OSU is assigned an advisor to help them successfully complete their plan of study. OSU advisors are knowledgeable in the degree programs their advisees are pursuing, assist in developing their semester schedule of courses, and keep them on an efficient path of study. Upon admission to a program of study, students will receive an email notifying them of their assigned advisor, contact information, and directions for setting an advising appointment. First year undergraduate students are advised in the Office of Student Success. After completing the first two semesters, students transition to an advisor in their academic college listed below. Graduate students may contact their degree or certificate program through one of the Graduate and Professional programs.
The following are student support services which are available to all students, including online students.
