Why do I have to see my advisor before I schedule classes?
See your advisor to have an engaged discussion about your academic progress, goals,
and future paths. During this meeting, your advisor will help you make good academic
decisions so you can graduate in a timely manner. In addition to discussing your academic
progress, you can talk about programs such as internships and study abroad, graduate
school opportunities, and other campus resources, such as the Learning Assistance Resource Center (LARC) for tutoring or Department of Counseling & Psychological Services for personal problems. An advising appointment is also a good time to talk about
the big issues - what kind of person do you want to be, and how can your time at WCU
help you be that?
At the conclusion of your advising meeting, your faculty advisor will lift the “advisor
hold” to allow you to register beginning on your assigned date. This means you should
contact your advisor for a meeting (however he or she wants to be contacted) before
this date.
Registration for Fall (and Summer) classes will begin soon – the date and time when
you will be allowed to enroll in classes will appear on your myWCU homepage soon.
