This may be your first experience with a student going away to college, or you may be quite familiar with the college process. Either way, we welcome you to the Oberlin community and invite you to make a personal—or virtual—visit to discover the ways in which we seek to nurture your student’s academic, intellectual, and social development. Use this site as a quick reference for key campus offices, announcements, and campus happenings.
Academic Guidance
Encourage your student to visit—in person or online—the Academic Advising Resource Center. Known as AARC, the staff supports academic advisors and students on all issues related to academic success, from courses, to grading, to academic standing, and more.
