The Academic Advising Resource Center (AARC)/Office of the Registrar supports academic advisors and students on issues related to academic success, progress toward degrees, courses, grading, and academic standing. Within the AARC are assistant deans who are responsible for meeting with and advising students on academic policies, grading questions, and departures from Oberlin (personal leaves or withdrawals.)
The AARC works closely with the Dean of Students to ensure excellent communication with regard to student issues and to ensure academic advising is supported in the best way possible.
The office also is responsible for maintaining the academic record, progress toward degree requirements, all aspects of course offerings, and classroom scheduling.
