Our team looks forward to supporting you during your academic journey! Students will be assigned an advisor by Orientation. Students can email con-advising@osu.edu for questions needing assistance prior to Orientation. Please note, we are not able to schedule advising appointments for new students prior to Orientation.
Advisors Do:
- direct and refer students to campus resources
- provide information regarding University and College policy
- facilitate Nursing 1100 to support new first year students
- take appointments to support students with their questions
- help students understand helpful tools like the degree audit, schedule planner, and other features of buckeyelink
- provide resources related to the impacts of academic decisions (ex: what happens if you drop/ add a course)
- answer questions about post-admission requirements when a student asks for clarification
- answer emails within 2-3 business days to provide support to students
Advisors Do Not:
- call or make contact with a campus resource on behalf of the student
- receive mid-term grades or reports from all faculty regarding a student’s academic performance
- select courses for students. Please note, we will construct a student’s autumn semester courses based on their preferences and credit earned in high school
- speak to the difficulty of a specific course
- know how a course will be graded other than the grade scale listed in buckeyelink
- know the teaching style, preferences, or strengths of specific instructors for a course
- tell a student what course of action is best for them, however we will assist students in weighing the different factors to consider when making a decision
