Office of Academic Advising

What do Academic Advisors do?

Academic advisors are caring professionals with valuable information! They are full-time professionals working in partnership with students to help them complete a degree or an educational goal. Advisors can help you:

• interpret placement test results and build an appropriate first-semester schedule
• explore educational and career opportunities, set appropriate goals, and devise strategies for accomplishing those goals
• understand the requirements of Ohio State majors
• monitor your progress toward a degree
• work through challenges by answering questions, providing support and connecting you to campus resources
