Once you have completed your meeting with an enrollment coach and any necessary placement testing, it’s time to meet with your academic advisor.
Wor-Wic approaches academic advising as a partnership between the student and the academic advisor. Advising is not only about scheduling your classes. Your academic advisor will discuss with you your life and career goals, ensure that your educational plan is aligned with those goals, identify appropriate resources and services that can support your educational journey and help you understand college policies and our expectations during your time as a Wor-Wic student. And of course, the academic advisor will also help you select the appropriate classes for your educational plan.
If you’ve never worked with an academic advisor, here’s what you need to know:
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.

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.
If you’re a current member of the military or national guard, or a veteran, Wor-Wic allows you to register before everyone else. There is one priority day before registration begins for summer/fall, and one before registration begins for the spring. For more information, contact Jason King, director of veterans services, at jmking@worwic.edu or 410-334-2882.
