Advising and Counseling
How can the Office of Student Services help me?
OSS counselors and advisors are available to assist students on a wide range of topics including instruction, programs and opportunities for students, faculty and staff. The Office also administers School rules and regulations as legislated by the ILR Faculty, assists faculty committees that deal with curricular and academic issues, serves as a contact and referral for University programs and services, and develops programs and services in support of the School's academic program.
Why are OSS counselors important?
Because the schools and colleges at Cornell University differ in some respects in their offerings, services, deadlines, regulations and programs, what is true for one may not be true for another. To avoid confusion and missed opportunities, check in with staff in the Office of Student Services to be sure that you understand ILR's practices and procedures.
How do I know which counselor to talk to?
Any staff member in the Office of Student Services may be able to answer your questions or provide assistance in any of the areas mentioned on this Web site. He or she can direct you to a counselor who specializes in answering your type of questions.
