Academic Advisement

Extended Learning banner

Advisement is unique for each individual. Your major, class standing, transfer credit, goals for the future, as well as work and family responsibilities, are different from everyone else. Therefore we will put general information pertaining to all students on this page. Then, you will want to e-mail extlearn@oswego.edu or call our office at 315.312.2270 to speak with an adviser early on as you consider returning to college.

We offer Four Evening Degrees and one Minor:


There are four branches within the college:

  • College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
  • School of Business
  • School of Communication, Media and the Arts
  • School of Education

Advisement

Your degree consists of three parts: General Education Requirements, Major Requirements, and Electives. Everyone will have different requirements depending upon when they were accepted, how many credits they transferred to Oswego and which major they declared. As such, the requirements you are completing may be different than the person sitting next to you in class. Therefore, always check with your adviser whenever you have questions about items such as which courses to take or your particular requirements.


Class Attendance

Always pay close attention to the individual attendance policies for each class you attend. Every professor decides what his or her policy will be and you need to be aware of the rules. If you need to be absent or late, let the professor know why - BUT do not do it in front of the entire class. Many professors are aware that adult students have different responsibilities than traditional students and will bend or adjust the rules occasionally. They do not change them for an entire class. Speak to professors either before or after class as they are more apt to make an individual exception quietly.
