Contact OMSA Remotely

In efforts to remain connected, we will continue to make ourselves available remotely. While we are on campus, we want our students to know we are available and adaptable. We encourage you to stop by the office, however, in the case that option is not available you can connect with someone online.

Request an appointment:

Once you request the appointment, we will confirm it and send our Zoom meeting number.


Student Resources

Keep in mind that the resources that were available to you on campus are still available to you virtually.

The Learning Center has returned to in-person operations, but all of its services remain available remotely for any student the University has approved to learn remotely. Email learning@rochester.edu for more information.

The Writing, Speaking, and Argument Program is still open for online support:

  • Undergraduate writing fellows are staffing Write-On. Upload any paper up to ten pages and receive detailed written feedback about your questions and concerns within 48 hours.
  • Speaking fellows and graduate writing consultants and are holding virtual tutoring sessions via Zoom by appointment only.
