Advising Records Office

Advising

Academic Advising is the primary function of University College. Professional academic advisers are available throughout the year to help students decide on majors, select appropriate courses, and become acquainted with university policies and resources. Our goal is to provide students with the support they need to succeed at the University of Oklahoma. Click here for more advising information.

Assessment and Learning Center

Our mission is to provide assessment of student knowledge, interests and educational experiences and promote academic assistance for students’ scholarly achievement towards excellence. We accomplish this by:
1. Determining students’ skill levels using placement testing (Math, English, & Reading) to seat them in appropriate courses
2. Helping students explore a major/minor or career path with computer programs and consultation
3. Providing academic assistance through Action Tutoring/Action Centers, computer software tutorials, Student Success seminars, resource materials, and learning consultations.

Center for Student Advancement

The CSA exists to assist students with college success. They specialize in study techniques, motivation and equipping students with the skills they need to succeed. Students will be able to discuss career choices, class schedules, study methods, or anything else that can assist them in thriving at OU. The professional staff will counsel students on how to stay on the right path to academic success. In addition, CSA coordinates a course called Strategies for Success for University College students on academic probation or notice. The course is designed to help students turn their grade points averages around and help them begin to focus on success in the classroom. Click here for more information about the CSA.

Freshman Programs

Making the transition from high school to college is always challenging and sometimes difficult. Freshman students must adjust to new intellectual standards, find new social relationships, and make appropriate decisions about significant events, often for the first time in their lives. Perhaps the biggest challenge of all is finding the necessary support to help understand and respond to these changes. The Department of Freshman Programs exists to help with this transition.
