Our goal is to empower students as they plan and prepare for the next few years at Oakland University. Below are actions you should be taking as an SHS student to stay focused on the finish line — graduation.

First Year: Schedule an academic advising appointment with the First Year Advising Center. We also suggest that you explore connecting with student organizations to get involved.

Second Year: Schedule a one-on-one degree planning meeting with an SHS academic adviser. We'll encourage you to decide on what area you would like to study and commit to a major. Consider joining an academic organization, networking with other students and possibly job shadowing.

Third Year: Start preparation for professional school exams and possibly complete a professional exam. Consider job shadowing. Schedule a graduation audit with an SHS academic adviser.

Fourth Year: Apply to professional programs and job shadow. Plan at least two semesters in advance for graduation audits. Also, remember that there is an application deadline for graduation. Plan for grad school.

About drop-in academic advising

Drop-in academic advising dates vary each semester.

During registration periods and the beginning of each semester, drop-in advising is generally busy.
No Graduation Audits provided during drop-in sessions.
Sign in begins approximately a half hour before the start of the posted drop-in session.
Students are seen on a first come, first serve basis.
Sessions are ONLY 15 minutes per student.
There is generally waiting involved. Bring something to occupy your time. (Like your text books!).

Transfer students who have NOT been accepted to the university yet are encouraged to schedule a full advising appointment by calling (248) 370-2369 or sign up for the Transfer Open House. We may not be able to access your records during a drop-in advising session. We encourage transfer students to apply to the university in order to receive an official transcript evaluation.
