eCampus BSIHS Advising
eCampus students have dedicated advisors available to help them as they complete the BSIHS. You have an Academic Advisor and an eCampus Advisor. You can find your advisor's information in your My Ohio Student Center.
Your Academic Advisor is available to assist you with; understanding your DARS report, class selection and registration, creating a degree completion plan, answering questions about university policy or serving as a connection to other support services. If you are in the Pre-IHS major, it is particularly important to meet with your advisor regularly to ensure you are on-track to be admitted into the major.
Your eCampus Advisor is available to assist you with support function question such as course registration, placement tests or navigating the Student Center. Your eCampus advisor will not be able to tell you which classes to take, but can assist you with registration. Information about eCampus Advising is available here, https://www.ohio.edu/ecampus/student-knowledge-center/services/advising.html#anchor.
