Advising in Consumer Sciences
Each student admitted to a major in Consumer Sciences is assigned a full-time, permanent, professional advisor to help you navigate the academic curriculum and plan your career at OSU.
Working with Your Advisor
- Know who your advisor is.
To find out who your assigned advisor is, please visit the Grades and Advising section of Buckeye Link to access either your Advising Report or Degree Audit. Both of these documents will list the last name of your advisor. - Call 292-9261 for an appointment with your advisor.
Appointments are typically 30 minutes in length. If you need extra assistance, notify the scheduler you will need more time for your appointment. - Prepare a list of questions for your advisor.
Preparing ahead will ensure all of your questions get answered and improve your advising experience. - Be on time to your appointment (CM262).
Please be courteous to your advisor and other students by being on time. Advisors days are scheduled, and lateness will disrupt others schedules or shorten your time with your advisor.
