Student Organization Consultations
Student Activities offers ongoing bookable appointments for student organization-related needs, including specific services for student org leaders, organization advisors, and students looking to get involved on campus. All appointments are scheduled through the same bookings webpage, but each has its own purpose.
- Schedule a check-in meeting with a Student Organization Coach if you're a student org member or leader who has questions about strengthening your organization or needs support brainstorming solutions to challenges you are facing.
- Schedule an advisor consultation if you are a staff or faculty advisor/co-advisor with questions or concerns about organizations you advise. These appointments are scheduled directly with a full-time professional staff member of the student org team.
- Schedule a risk consultation if you are a student, staff, or faculty member needing support generating ideas for safer, healthier practices, or have questions about risk-related topics such as hazing. These appointments are scheduled directly with our Risk Reduction Specialist.
Appointments are typically lighter in availability over break periods and are not available when offices are closed for holidays. If you need assistance with scheduling, email csls@osu.edu.

All active/pending organizations are now able to advertise on the Student Life Calendar. You can add your organization’s events and milestones. Events can be on-campus or off-campus, in-person or virtual. Milestones are considered opportunities that are not tied to a location such as an application deadline. Regular student org meetings cannot be posted to the calendar, but all other programs and opportunities you’d like to widely advertise can now be shared on a much larger platform! Learn more about how the calendar works and start posting at go.osu.edu/StudentOrgCalendar. Email csls@osu.edu with questions.
