Advising Structure

Our Mission: To assist students in the development of an educational plan for the realization of life and career goals.

OSU-Cascades believes that academic advising is a key ingredient in helping students attain their educational goals. We encourage all students to form a strong partnership with their academic advisor and to become active participants in their own advisement process. Not only can your advisor help you understand rather complex degree requirements and schedule planning, but he or she is a valuable source of information about your career field, job or internship opportunities, study abroad programs, and other majors or minors that may enhance your skills.

Undecided Students

Check out the Exploratory Student website for information on how to explore.

By working in partnership with OSU-Cascades Career Services and their advisor, undecided students will explore personal interests, goals, and values, with the goal of selecting a major that incorporates all of these important elements. A list of exploratory classes in OSU-Cascades majors is available to students who are undecided and desire to "test out" different areas. 

Take Responsibility of your Degree

As a student it is important to be aware of university policies and procedures. Take time to research these throughout your time at OSU-Cascades. Make sure you fully understand what is required of you to graduate. See the advising guides below and on your departments website for important information.

See this link for more information on the Advisor/Advisee relationship and how to maximize your experience with OSU-Cascades Advising.

Students should contact your Academic Advisor with any concerns or questions regarding academic success, academic policy, or graduation requirements.
