The Advisement Center helps students transition from high school and other institutions to the SUNY Oswego community. Before students start their first semester we are by their side providing academic advising and introducing them to campus-wide resources, services, and experiences that will help them thrive academically and socially.
Advisors are able to discuss majors and major requirements, assist with course selection and academic planning, interpret university policies, procedures, and requirements, provide strategies for time management and studying, and connect students to learning services and extracurricular activities. These services are not just limited to our advisees assigned to the Advisement Center, but as consulting services to all SUNY Oswego students.
All students are assigned an Academic Success Advisor or other advisor who is specially trained to assist students with the transition to SUNY Oswego, and provide students with the right information to help them reach their academic goals. As students progress at Oswego they are reassigned a department faculty advisor who will work with them for the remainder of their college career.
The Advisement Center offers academic support through Advisement Guides as well as a variety of success courses. Advisement Guides are peer advisors who can help students learn the ropes of college life by discussing topics such as campus resources, campus systems (Degree Works, myOswego), and the registration process. We also offer academic recovery support through EDU 104, a one-credit success course.
SUNY Oswego’s Advisement Center also offers transfer services which provide transfer students with support during their time at Oswego. These services include Tau Sigma National Academic Honor Society and transfer advisement.
All Transfers are welcomed in the Advisement Center where Academic Success Advisors are available to help students with a variety of needs including: support services (academic and social), information about campus opportunities, academic planning, and a Transfer Success Seminar (GST 315).
