The Student Services Center serves undergraduate students in the College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services and provides academic advising, degree progress audits, graduation checkouts, and licensure information. The center staff is responsible for recruitment, orientation, admissions and registration. In addition, information about required testing (Praxis) and academic support services are available there.
The adviser for students needing academic support provides special services to assist students who are on probation or who are at risk of failure. The goal is to assist students to:
- Overcome barriers to learning
- Achieve a cumulative grade point average necessary for appropriate program
- Resolve personal issues affecting their academics
- Access special services
The Student Services Center personnel are committed to meeting the needs of all students, including nontraditional students.
Most students meet with an adviser at least three times per year. You may make an appointment to see your adviser by calling 513-556-2336.
Academic advising is one of the most important services you will receive while you are at the University of Cincinnati. The process of academic advising is a shared responsibility where the student and the adviser work together to achieve a common goal. Students should have a set of questions and goals prepared when meeting with their adviser. When scheduling for classes it is helpful to have prepared a tentative schedule prior to your appointment to review with your adviser.
