Academic Advising

MISSION STATEMENT:

Academic advisors in the College of Nursing direct course scheduling for individual students and serve as a vital connection between the student and university resources and information. Academic advisors help students connect to:

  • An academic major
  • General Education Curriculum
  • Degree options
  • Academic remediation
  • Out-of-class activities
  • Career services
  • Study abroad options
  • Non-academic support services

In addition, academic advisors are experts at explaining how things work at the university, including policies and procedures with regard to registrations, financial aid, petitions and appeals and graduation. They can be trusted to provide all of this with accuracy, in confidence, and at the right time. Knowing the student as an individual allows the academic advisor to consider the student’s skills, abilities and interests.

My Assigned Advisor:

You will be assigned an academic advisor in the College of Nursing by the start of summer semester.  The name of your advisor will be posted to your Buckeyelink account.

If you have questions, you may reach out to con-advising@osu.edu for assistance.  Students may make individual advising appointments after Orientation.  To make an appointment, you may utilize Oncourse.

Please note, it may take 2-3 business days for an advisor to reply to your email.  During peak season (summer, early autumn and during registration season), the response timeline may be extended to one week as well as the wait period for appointments.  We encourage you to plan accordingly, and we very much appreciate your patience.
