Over time, the Education Advising Office has noticed an increase in the number of students who do not come to their scheduled appointments.
 

As future teaching professionals, our students are expected to model the behavior they will expect from their students.  If circumstances prevent a student from attending a future scheduled advising appointment, the student should call (248-370-4182), e-mail (edadvise@oakland.edu) or stop by the office (363 Pawley Hall) to cancel.  This way the appointment slot may be offered to another student.  Advising appointments that are attended or canceled in advance allow teacher education advisers to serve a large student population in a more timely manner.

Students who “no show” for two appointments during an academic year will be contacted by email to remind them of this policy.  Students who then fail to attend or cancel a third scheduled advising appointment during the same academic year will be issued a Concerns Report. 

The purpose of this information is to help students understand the importance of keeping track of advising appointments and avoid having a Concerns Report for "no showing" placed in their files.
