Office for Academic Advising Support

The Office for Academic Advising Support (OAAS) provides holistic advising and major exploration services to undeclared and exploratory students, in addition to offering advising to newly admitted transfer students as they transition to DePaul. OAAS empowers students to make academic choices that incorporate their individual interests, values and skills. Additionally, OAAS provides advising support services to the DePaul community and fosters university-wide collaborations with faculty and staff to enhance advising experiences for DePaul students. 

OAAS will meet with any undergraduate student who is undeclared or thinking about changing or adding a major or minor. You can schedule an appointment two ways:

1. OneDePaul: If you are undeclared in LAS, CSH, or CMN, you have an assigned OAAS advisor and can schedule an appointment directly to your advisor's calendar using OneDePaul in Campus Connect.  You can find instructions here​.

If you are declared in any undergraduate program but considering a change in major or minor, you can schedule an appointment directly to an OAAS advisor's calendar in OneDePaul by clicking Schedule an Appointment-->Assigned and then scrolling down to “OAAS: Major Exploration Advising" team and selecting “Anyone on this team.”  

2. Telephone: Between the hours of 9am-5pm on Mon-Fri, you may call us at 773/325-7431 to schedule an appointment.

If you’ve worked with an OAAS advisor before, feel free to schedule with that advisor directly.  You can also find advisor email addresses on the Staff page​.

Students who are declared and are not considering a change should contact their home college advising office​ for assistance with advising.
