Your Advising Network
Academic advising is an integral part of your Oxford College experience. Students work with multiple academic resources including professional advisors, faculty advisors, and other academic resources during their time at Oxford. We like to think of these resources as your advising network.
Advising Support Center (ASC)
Oxford's dedicated professional academic advising team helps with routine academic requests, academic concerns, and other advising-related questions.
Some of the processes that the ASC oversees include:
- Academic concerns and routine academic requests
- Academic support programs
- Supplemental instruction
- Academic coaching and Learning Specialist
In addition to Discovery Seminar faculty advisors, students are assigned a professional advisor in the ASC. This advisor will be a part of your academic support team throughout your time at Oxford.
Information about scheduling individual advising meetings will be shared in the Oxford First Year Experience (FYE) Canvas Course. All virtual advising appointments will be facilitated via ZOOM and held in the Eastern time zone.
The Advising Support Center would like all incoming first-year students to use the Navigate platform to schedule advising appointments.
To use Navigate:
- Access Emory Navigate via the desktop website [https://emory.navigate.eab.com] or download the app
- Click “Schedule an Appointment Today!” near the top right
- Select “Academic Advising>Oxford College First Year Advising Appointment”
- Select your date/time with your assigned advisor
Discovery Seminars
During their first semester of study, Oxford students will enroll in a Discovery Seminar led by a faculty mentor who will also serve as their faculty adviser.
Students will:
- Apply for their Discovery Seminars in the early summer with a July 15 deadline.
- Be placed in one of their top 5 Discovery Seminar choices.
- Have the opportunity to meet with their assigned faculty advisors during New Student Orientation in August.
We encourage you to meet with your faculty adviser regularly to discuss your interests in majors and professional careers, research opportunities, and course selection as well as your personal, professional, and scholarly identities.
