Academic
Advising
Each CAP student is
assigned a Professional
Advisor. CAP participants are required to meet with their
professional advisors each quarter before scheduling. Of course,
students are encouraged to visit their advisors whenever they need
assistance. CAP Advisors can…
- direct a student
to the resources needed to handle the roadblocks that will inevitably
arise
- navigate the Quarters-to-Semesters transition
- help students
explore possible majors
- review degree
reports with students and help them understand requirements
- review academic
progress
- assist students
with selecting and scheduling classes each quarter
- guide students
through the challenges of college life
- provide a
sounding board for a student’s problems
- serve as a
liaison to the various departments with which a student must interact
- advocate on the
students behalf
- provide letters
of reference for students who maintain consistent contact
- celebrate a student's success

CAP wants to provide an
opportunity for students to receive one-on-one assistance with all of
their academic needs. However, we cannot do it alone. CAP will reach
out to students, but, ultimately, CAP participants must assume
responsibility for maintaining contact with their advisor; learning
university, college, and departmental requirements; and seeking
assistance when needed. To this end, CAP students should come prepared
to their meetings with CAP advisors just as they should to all classes
and meetings. We&
#8217;ll look out for you, but we want you to look out for
yourself, as well.
CAP’s professional
advisors are available Monday – Friday, 9 – 5 in the Academic
Advancement Center, 101 Alden Library. Stop by to see your advisor
whenever you have a question, concern, or just want some ideas or
feedback about career and/or academic plans. If your assigned advisor
is not available please see Greg Lester, CAP Coordinator, or Cynthia
King, Director of the Academic Advancement Center. To see a photo of

Ohio University is
fortunate to have many resources available to assist students. CAP
Advisors frequently refer students to Career Services
for more information about careers, majors, and internships and to the Office of Financial Aid
for more information
about federal, state, and local aid opportunities.
