Encourage your student to develop a relationship with WMU’s academic advisors. Advisors may be faculty, staff, administrators, graduate students or peer educators and advising at WMU will take many forms.
Depending on the program of study, students may have more than one academic advisor. For instance, a student may have a curriculum advisor, major advisor, and minor advisor. Each college advising office assists students in making connections to the appropriate advisor or advising office.
Advisors provide students with information and guidance as it relates to program/curriculum requirements, academic policies/procedures, and various academic issues and concerns. Advisors evaluate transfer courses for applicability to programs of study, assist with course selection, and refer students to support systems, informational resources, and individuals. Ultimately, students are responsible for their own education and meeting with an advisor each semester is the best way to stay on track.
