Academic Advising

An academic advisor is responsible for helping you achieve your educational and career goals. The academic advisor will work with you to clarify your goals, ensure that you are meeting your certificate or degree requirements, help you register for classes, assist you with identifying resources that can help you succeed, provide clarity about college expectations, and if transfer to a four-year institution is your goal, help you to prepare for that transition.

Think of your academic advisor as your guide throughout your time at Wor-Wic.

You can see your academic advisor anytime during your enrollment at Wor-Wic. To make sure you are on track to complete your educational goals, we require you to meet with your advisor three times:

1. As a new student you must meet with an academic advisor during the enrollment process to ensure that you are prepared to be successful and to register for your first semester of courses. Your enrollment coach will help you schedule your first academic advising appointment.
2. After you get settled into the first few weeks of classes in your first semester, your advisor will contact you to make an appointment to map out your entire academic plan. After this meeting you should be able to register yourself each semester without the help of an academic advisor.
3. As you approach completion of your degree or certificate program, you will need to meet with your advisor to ensure you are on track to complete all requirements for graduation and transfer.

Of course, any time you need help your academic advisor will be there to guide you. The academic advisor may also reach out to you if faculty indicate you are struggling in your classes, if you have not taken the time to register for the next semester or to alert you to resources that can help you succeed.

Academic advisors appreciate you making an appointment so they have time to review your academic history and can prepare to help you succeed.

If you are a new student, your academic advisor will walk you through the process of registering for courses in your first semester. Current students are able to log into myWorWic and register for classes once the registration period opens for the next semester. If you have any questions about your schedule, you should make an appointment and consult with your academic advisor.

Your enrollment coach will help you schedule your first appointment with an academic advisor. At your first appointment, the academic advisor will show you how to make an appointment for future visits.

The Academic Advising Center is located in Brunkhorst Hall in room BH 214.  Most students will visit the Academic Advising Center throughout their time at Wor-Wic, but some students (dual enrolled, military/veterans, students with disabilities and TRIO) will be advised in other locations.

Your enrollment coach will explain where your advisor is located and how you can make contact with them.
