Student Resources

What's an academic advisor?
An academic advisor is there to help you. In the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science, we’re unique, because many faculty members are also academic advisors. Your academic advisor should be your first point of contact for questions related to:
- Your curriculum – they fully understand the requirements for your major as well as the general education requirements
- Connecting you to the resources here at Ohio State – they can offer you information and solutions for academic and other issues you may be experiencing. They can connect you to the appropriate resources here at OSU on everything from chemistry tutors, math help room, to counseling and consultation services
- Adding or dropping classes, general scheduling questions, making changes or substitutions in your program
- Questions/issues related to your academic program requirements
