My Assigned Advisor:
You will be assigned an academic advisor in the College of Nursing by mid-August. The name of your advisor will be posted to your Buckeyelink account.
If you have questions or would like to speak with an advisor please email con-advising@osu.edu. To schedule a meeting with an advisor, please call our front desk at 614-292-4041. Appointments cannot be made via email.
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.
