OTHER LEARNING SUPPORT
We know that the transition to online/remote learning may not be easy for all of you. To support you in doing your best work, we have a number of resources to assist with learning strategies, time management, tutoring, and more.
ACADEMIC ADVISING
Even in this remote environment, you may still schedule a meeting with your academic advisor to discuss your academic plan and course registration. Advising appointments may be conducted by email, phone and/or video chat depending on instructions from your advisor. Check your RIC email frequently and follow the guidelines provided by your advisor.
To schedule a meeting, email your academic advisor. If you do not know who your advisor is or do not see one listed, contact the Department Chair for your major.
If you are an exploring major, make your advising appointment with your academic advisor using Starfish. The advising team in OASIS is open for virtual appointments.
If you have any questions or concerns about advising, contact Chris DaCosta, director of academic advising, at cdacosta@ric.edu or reach out to the advising team in OASIS at 401-456-8083 or email oasis@ric.edu.
