Following a decision at the Provost’s Council of the Deans in early April, the ongoing Academic Advising Review shifted out of the review (2022-2023) and design (2023-2024) phases and into the implementation phase (April 2024 - spring 2025).
Overview of 2022-2023 Academic Advising Review
During the 2022-2023 Academic Year, the Provost’s Office, with support from all OSU college Deans, will be conducting an institution-wide review of OSU’s undergraduate academic advising. This review will be led by the Division of Student Affairs and the Office of Academic Affairs, in recognition of the clear connection between academic and student support services. Effective academic advising is essential to supporting student academic progress and overall student success. With this understood, it is imperative that we assess our academic advising programs to help ensure students are gaining value from their advising experiences and that those experiences are equitable across the colleges and throughout the student life cycle.
