Undergraduate Advising
The Office of Undergraduate Student Affairs (OUSA) advises Kinesiology's current and prospective undergraduate students on matters relating to admissions, orientation, registration, curriculum, internships, career planning, and graduate school preparation. OUSA can also provide referrals for guidance and counseling, health issues and disabilities, financial concerns, and more.
The OUSA staff is here and ready to help! We strive to present a one-stop, student-friendly environment designed to meet all student needs. Ask us a question or schedule an advising appointment.
Our offices are located on the garden/ground/lower level of the office building at 555 S. Forest. Enter our offices by going down the exterior stairwell. Our signage appears on our windows and doors.
