We offer a network of advisors to support you in your academic and professional goals. Meet our advisors below to learn about which majors they support. Additionally, all students are assigned to a faculty mentor within their major. You’ll meet at least once a semester to discuss course registration, academic progress and career development. The Student Services team provides additional advising for all students, especially undecided and transfer students, to help with academic and career concerns. To learn more, explore our FAQs.
Each department manages mentoring for students in their major programs. You can always request a new mentor by contacting the appropriate individual listed below.
Prior to registering for classes each semester, you’ll meet with your advisor to discuss your academic goals and progress, and determine what classes to take. Your advisor is listed on the main page of your MyOHIO Student Center.
You can consult your DARS or the undergraduate catalog to plan your courses. Each department also provides four-year course plans. We recommend that students take at least 15 credits every term to stay on track for graduation.

If a course is full, you may be able to enroll on the wait list. Please note: Wait list enrollment isn’t automatic – you must select the wait list option when adding the course to your shopping cart. Watch this video for instructions, or visit or this page for FAQs.
If a course is full or you don’t meet the pre-requisites, you can request permission via your MyOHIO Student Center to add it. Please note: This is a request, and faculty are not required to grant permission. If you’re granted permission, you’ll receive an email reminding you to confirm your registration. Follow this video for step-by-step instructions to request permission.
After the first week of class, you must receive instructor permission to enroll in a course. In rare circumstances, instructors may grant permission to enroll in a course past the second week of class, which requires a separate form.
If you need to enroll late, be sure to attend all classes, and discuss the situation with the instructor.
You can request permission to take more than 20 credit hours by requesting permission from the Russ College . Please be aware that you’ll be charged for each additional credit over 20 hours.
