The Office of Student Development (OSD) is located on the 2M Floor of Steinman Hall in the Grove School of Engineering (GSOE). We work with each entering freshman student to help you navigate the City College campus and the Grove School of Engineering to facilitate your successful transition to college life. To enhance your academic experience, we provide short-term personal counseling and on-going academic counseling, including guidance with your course selection, registration and  decision making as pertinent to your academic major. We also offer free tutoring and assistance with your scholarship search. In addition to our academic services, we provide assistance with your career and professional development through mentoring, corporate information sessions and information about co-op and internship opportunities.

All of our activities and initiatives including our specialized orientation program is designed to forge a sense of community between you and the Engineering faculty and key staff, especially since many of your early courses are physically taken outside of the Grove School of Engineering. Orientation includes activities that will acquaint you with the habits of highly effective students, and it will help you to get to know other students at the Grove School. Your upper-class peers will be on-hand to greet you and encourage your participation in engineering clubs. Each new freshman will meet one-on-one with an assigned OSD advisor several times during the first semester, and the entire OSD staff stands ready to explore strategies that will lead to your personal and academic well-being, and eventual graduation from the Grove School of Engineering.
