Advising Services
Advising is a partnership between you and your academic adviser. Together, you will work to create educational plans to meet your academic, career and personal goals. You are responsible for being prepared for and participating in advising sessions, as well as understanding university and program requirements.
To schedule an appointment with an adviser, call 740-533-4600.
Need help scheduling free tutoring, locating mental health resources or finding other opportunities to help you succeed? Our advising and retention specialist meets with students to discuss any barriers they may be experiencing, and to discuss ways to overcome those barriers.
