At BGSU, students are assigned an academic advisor from day one, and we strive to provide every opportunity possible for students to not only meet with an advisor, but to develop an important and on-going partnership designed to lead toward the important outcome of student success.
We aspire to create a culture of advising excellence for our students, marked by ongoing professional development and collegiality among advisors across campus.
Congress passed the Family Educational Rights & Privacy Act (FERPA), also known as the Buckley Amendment, on August 21, 1974 to protect the privacy of student education records. Within the context of higher education, FERPA provides students the right to review these records and prohibits unauthorized dissemination of educational information by the institution or its employees. BGSU, like most institutions of higher education, falls under FERPA regulations and is obligated to develop policies for the protection and restricted dissemination of records related to each student’s education.
The course syllabus plays a key role in communicating to the student a faculty member's expectation of the student as well as what the student can expect of their faculty. There are many different ways to organize and present course syllabi depending on the faculty, discipline, course level, etc. However, there are several common expectations for course syllabi at BGSU: a clear statement on course expectations, the schedule and methods of assessment, indicators of support for student success, and pedagogical efforts that engage students in the learning process.
You can access textbook information for you class through Canvas on “MY BGSU”. There’s a link under “Employee” on the top link bar. Email textbooks@bgsu.edu with questions.
Examination copies of textbook can be ordered by your Department Administrative Assistant through the publisher. These are normally at no cost as long as the book has been adopted for a specific semester.
Academic programs in the College of Health and Human Services provide students the knowledge and experience necessary to make a difference in enhancing people’s well-being and quality of life. Each of the programs meets or exceeds the standards set for the health and human services disciplines, including national accreditations for nursing, medical laboratory science, public health, social work and speech-language pathology.
BGSU offers two types of academic progress reporting. The first type is the Early Alert initiative, which takes place after the first few weeks of the semester and helps keep your academics on track. The second type of reporting is your midterm grades, which help you assess where you stand halfway into the semester.
“BGSU’s general education program, BG Perspective: 21st Century Liberal Studies, was created with the intention to provide students with a coherent combination of courses in which active learning strategies are the norm and in which pedagogies are guided, in part, by regular, formal assessment of general education learning outcomes, thereby preparing students with a solid foundation for moving into their upper-level courses."
“General education assessment data is collected each term. The results will be routinely shared with faculty and the larger BGSU community.”
The Center for Undergraduate Research and Scholarship (CURS) was established in 2004 to increase the visibility, prestige, and material support for participation in undergraduate research and creative activities, both for students and faculty.
PILLARS is a grant program created by Linda Petrosino, Dean Emeritus of the College of Health and Human Services, designed to provide financial support to College of Health and Human Services students. The grants are funded by annual financial contributions from alumni and friends of the College of Health and Human Services.
