GENERAL INFORMATION
Student Services
In Franklin University’s student-centered approach, each student is matched with an Academic Advisor or Student Services Coordinator (SSC) as the primary contact person at the University. Following initial registration, the Academic Advisor or SSC serves as an initial and long-term resource for the student until the student’s academic goals are achieved. Central Ohio students are matched with an Academic Advisor based upon their primary academic major. Students who have not declared a major are assigned to an Academic Advisor who is familiar with student issues. Students taking courses at the Indianapolis location will be matched with an SSC in Indianapolis. GoArmyEd students are matched with an Academic Advisor based upon the student’s last name. Community College Alliance students are matched with an Academic Advisor based upon their partner community college.
Some of the services provided by an Academic Advisor are:
• clarification of educational and career goals • periodic review of academic progress • assistance in preparing a personal education plan
• degree audits to specify remaining academic requirements for degree completion and expected graduation date
• assistance in scheduling for classes • liaison services with other University departments
FIAT
The Franklin Intervention & Awareness Team (FIAT) has been established to promote the health and safety of the entire Franklin community by creating an environment where development, education, and caring intervention are fostered and encouraged. FIAT seeks to maintain an awareness of student behavior issues so that such issues can be addressed most effectively.
STUDENT CODE OF CONDUCT
A primary mission of Franklin University is to help each student become more effective by providing educational experiences that enhance intellectual abilities and career development. The University seeks to develop creativity, flexibility and independence of thought so that students will be able to face challenges with confidence. For that mission to be achieved, the faculty and administration of the University must be able to carry out their respective responsibilities efficiently and effectively in an atmosphere free from disruption or intimidation.
As such, students recognize their obligation to conform to reasonable standards of behavior and to abide to the Student Code of Conduct.

OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL SERVICES & PROGRAMS (OISP)

• Assists international students from the application process and registration throughout their entire academic experience at Franklin University
• Conducts initial and ongoing international student orientation for all new and current international students
• Academic advisement of F-1, J-1 and all nonimmigrant students throughout their studies at the University

HEALTH INSURANCE
Franklin University does not endorse any health insurance company over another for our domestic students. Those students who desire to locate health insurance should perform an Internet search under “student health insurance” on any Internet search engine to locate a plan that meets their individual needs.
PERSONAL COUNSELING
The main objective of personal counseling services at Franklin University is to provide referral (HandsOn Central Ohio) for a broad range of issues and problems. The office serves as a link between the person seeking assistance and an appropriate off-campus resource. This service is free, and information revealed by a person seeking assistance is strictly confidential. HandsOn Central Ohio can be contacted 24 hours a day by calling 211 or 614.221.6766.
