Undergraduate Advising | HHS | Oregon State University

Undergraduate academic advising is a service through which advisors assist students in selecting, planning, and completing their academic programs. The College of Health and Human Sciences provides centralized advising in the Office of Academic Advising and Student Services. There are five professional advisors available on an appointment basis to assist you. Each advisor has a department focus for advising, and students are not assigned to a particular advisor. Prospective students must meet with an academic advisor prior to their initial Oregon State University registration and any future fall term pre-registration. Current OSU students wishing to change major into departments within the College of Health and Human Science must meet with an advisor prior to entrance.
