Advising Support Center

At Oxford, you'll have access to career advisers, faculty advisers, academic deans, and of course the academic advising staff in the Advising Support Center to guide you through your two years at Oxford.

The Advising Support Center helps students navigate their academic careers while attending Oxford and plan for their continuation to Emory’s Atlanta campus. We want to help students reach their goals at Emory and beyond.

Guidance Your First Two Years

Working with your faculty adviser—who will serve as the instructor of your Discovery Seminar course (taken during fall of your first year)—the Advising Support Center will support and guide you during your time at Oxford.

• Meeting your degree requirements 
• Managing routine academic requests such as registration and course withdrawals
• Addressing academic concerns such as midterm status reports, course absences, and other academic hardships

Planning for Your Next Two Years and Beyond

Even while you’re focusing on your Oxford experience, the Advising Support Center will keep your eye on the future, planning for your continuation to the Atlanta campus and your career goals.

• Choosing your major
• Planning for study abroad
• Transitioning to Emory’s Atlanta campus and choosing where to spend your junior and senior years, whether Emory College of Arts and Sciences, the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing, or Goizueta Business School 
• Guiding you through career and preprofessional advising
• Preparing for Commencement

Supplemental Instruction

An academic assistance program, Supplemental Instruction provides weekly review sessions for historically difficult courses at Oxford College. Faculty select and Supplemental Instruction hires, trains, and oversees students who have the demonstrated mastery of course material and leadership skills to lead weekly review sessions.

• Designed to help any student, not just the students who are not doing well in the class.
• Evidence shows that regularly attending Supplemental Instruction sessions can increase a student’s grade by a half to a full letter grade.
