Advising Resources
Students should seek advice on issues related to financial aid, scholarships, housing, degree progress, registration and course selection, tutoring, campus involvement activities, etc., from the appropriate campus office. Students are expected to understand the regulations they must follow to maintain their status and are welcome to ask OGE for clarification at any time if they are unsure about appropriate actions following conversations with campus partners. The ISSS section of our website has extensive information online to assist students through their programs of study.
