What We Do
The Office of Student Services is a referral and resource for all students in the School of Education (including pre-education majors). Primary responsibilities are to provide quality advising for undergraduates and to coordinate the processing of certification.  The staff also assists with student recruitment events, contacts with prospective students, admissions to teacher education, and School of Education scholarship materials. The goal is to provide support and referral services to students in the School of Education to facilitate a successful academic experience.

The Office of Student Services provides enhanced communication between students and other campus offices. The office is charged with coordinating the school's commencement ceremony and other student-centered activities. The office staff also works with the School of Education's student organizations to provide programming of interest to all School of Education students.

Advising
Students who have declared an education or pre-education major receive academic advising through the School of Education Student Services Office, Room 129. In addition, all students are assigned a faculty advisor who will be available for assistance in program and career planning. Academic advisors are also available to meet with those who seek admission to teacher education programs. Graduate students who are initially undecided about a degree program can elect to be advised about the available graduate programs by student services staff. Appointments are required, please call 816-235-2234 to make an appointment.
