Student Affairs
The University Office of Student Affairs serves as an ombudsman focusing attention on the rights and responsibilities of students within the university community. In addition, it serves as a central source of information about university policies and procedures that affect student life and extracurricular programs and services. Students may contact the University Office of Student Affairs for resolution of specific problems and for referral to other university offices or campus agencies.
The dental school's Office of Student Services acts as a resource for individual students, and for classes as a whole, providing services and administering programs that supplement the regular curriculum and enrich the quality of student life. Programs under the direction of this office include:
Incoming students are introduced to the school, the university, and the Cleveland area in a two-day program presented by the Office of Student Services, faculty members, and upperclass students.
All students are assigned to faculty advisers during freshman orientation. The advisers are volunteers from the faculty who offer the students guidance and fellowship during their educational program.
The Office of Student Services monitors student grades on a regular basis and works individually with students. Students are assisted in defining problems, identifying available resources, and choosing specific steps to be taken toward improvement.
The Office of Student Services provides tutoring for students who need to improve their academic performance. The tutors are either upperclassmen or graduate students. Students may seek tutoring on their own or be recommended for tutoring by course instructors. Tutors emphasize study techniques, time allotment, problem solving, and communication in addition to comprehension of content.
Senior students are given the opportunity to participate in elective courses. More than 30 courses are offered in such areas as specialty education, research, and business management training.
