Information for Advising

What can I see in PRESTO about my advisees?

What information will enhance your advising session? Do you want to know how to see if your advisee is registered? What about helping your advisee decide on whether to change a major to a minor? The following guide will provide a list of information about your advisee that will assist you during advising sessions.

 

 

The Degree Evaluation Report

The Degree Evaluation Report is a powerful tool that allows students and advisors to review the requirements for an Oberlin degree given all courses that a student has completed or in which a student is registered. The report will give you the results of progress toward the degree for all institutional requirements (e.g., 9-9-9) and major requirements.

The Oberlin Catalog

The Oberlin Course Catalog is updated frequently with new course information. Use the search function to find new courses by typing in "new course added".catalog.oberlin.edu

Archived Course Catalogs:
The 2005-2006, 2006-2007, 2007-2008, 2008-2009, 2009-2010, amd 2010-2011 catalogs can be found by going to the current course catalog and using the pulldown menu to the upper right. (Note: Catalogs for academic years from 2001-2002 through 2004-2005 are linked below. Each of those catalogs also includes a separate supplement of changes and a schedule of classes for fall and spring semesters.)

Did you know that there is a short cut to displaying course descriptions in the catalog? Instead of clicking on each course entry to see the description, you can go to "Oberlin College Courses Offered in 2011-12 (and planned offerings in future years)" (on the left hand side of the catalog home page, then select courses you would like to see (for example, all courses in Chemistry by using the course filter at the top). When the list of courses are displayed, click on "Print-Friendly Page" option on the right hand side. A new window will display with an option to "Expand All Courses." Clicking on that link will display all course descriptions in your list.
