About OSR
Established in Summer 2008, the Office of Student Relations (OSR) is committed to building bridges and enhancing services to help support and improve the student experience at Teachers College. The OSR listens to students and helps them navigate College policies and procedures, while educating them about appropriate resources at the College. The OSR provides an environment in which students are welcome to share issues, questions, and concerns related to any aspect of their student experience (i.e., administrative, academic, personal, and emotional). Students who are unsure who to speak with regarding a matter of concern are encouraged to reach out to the OSR once they have made an effort to resolve their questions and concerns locally with the appropriate office(s) or department(s).
The Director of Student Relations works closely with the College’s Clinical Graduate Assistant and is able to provide confidential referrals for free short-term consultation to any student in need (regardless of whether the student has paid the Health Services Fee or has University Health Insurance). The Clinical GA is available to any student experiencing personal, psychological, or academic distress that is interfering with her/his well being. The Clinical GA can also be reached directly through the Dean Hope Center for Educational and Psychological Services at (212) 678-3262.
Students who experience extenuating circumstances that may affect their ability to continue matriculation within a given semester in which they are registered should consult with the Office of Student Relations.
