Academic Advising

When it comes to academic advising at OBU, you are the captain of your own success. Use these tips to plan your time wisely, and all of your hard work will pay off.

What is Advising and How to Get Help Student Success at the Milburn Center

At OBU, academic advising is personal. Your advisor is a faculty member in your major who knows your goals and can challenge and support you throughout college. Find your advisor’s contact information in your self-service banner and schedule an academic advising appointment early and often. Regular meetings can help you make informed decisions, stay on track and get the most from OBU’s student success advising resources.

Complete These Tasks to Stay on Track

  1. 1

    Check your degree progress

    Stay on top of your academic progress by checking DegreeWorks at least once each semester. Your degree audit shows completed courses, remaining requirements and your progress toward graduation.

Watch your registration dates closely, meet with your academic advisor when needed and use your advisor-provided PIN if one is required. Staying ahead of enrollment and other academic deadlines helps you build a schedule that keeps you moving toward graduation.
