Welcome to OASES!

The Office of Adult Students and Extended Services (OASES) is dedicated to empowering adult learners and supporting their successful re-entry and completion of degrees at the university. OASES collaborates with academic units to develop effective strategies for readmission and re-enrollment, particularly for students who have previously stopped out. OASES strives to connect all adult and readmitted students with essential campus resources, guiding them in developing academic and career goals, and ultimately supporting their timely graduation. 

We directly manage critical programs like 49er Finish, actively working to re-engage former students and help them achieve their degrees. Additionally, OASES plays a vital role in readmission recruitment and marketing, provides general education advising, serves as the primary contact for employees using educational benefits, assists with adult scholarship selection, and develops specialized adult orientation programming. We are also committed to enhancing the university’s capacity to serve adult learners by providing professional development opportunities for staff working with this unique student population.
