Academic Advising at OSU-Cascades

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

Academic advisors assist you in long- and short-term academic and career planning. They provide information on curricula, educational and experiential options within your college and the university, schedule planning, and help interpret university and departmental requirements.

Advisors are assigned by the major you have declared.  

Check with the OSU-Cascades Enrollment Services if you are unsure who your academic advisor is:

Enrollment Services: 541-322-3100 or stop by CSB 223

See the Academic Advising Handout for more information on Advisee and Advisor Responsibilites.

Undecided/Exploratory 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.
