Academic Advising Centers

For students living in the residence halls and Student Housing Apartments, Academic Advising Centers provide convenient, personalized academic support from Academic Peer Mentors and tutors. The centers also offer workshops throughout the year.

Office of Educational Opportunity and Enrichment Services

The Office of Educational Opportunity and Enrichment Services (OEOES) comprises a cluster of programs, services and centers that share a mission of fostering student development, academic success and an inclusive campus community.

Meeting with an advisor can help assure you complete the requirements for your degree in a timely manner. Each undergraduate college has advisors to help students:
