Initial Advising • Meet with the Chair or Program Director to review your transfer credits • Be sure that all of your credits are accounted for – you may have to resend your transcript if something is missing • Map out your curriculum • Ask about pre-requisite courses • Ask about requisites outside of the curriculum
More Advising • Each student will be assigned a faculty advisor that will assist with scheduling classes, curriculum mapping & planning your future • Make it a point to meet your advisor during the first 2 weeks of the fall semester. Email themto set up a short meeting or stop by during their office hours for a quick introduction • Be sure to ask how they will be handling advising appointments around scheduling dates
Scheduling • Scheduling is completed on-line • You will need to meet with your advisor to have your “flag” removed (this is a scheduling hold) • Once your advisor removes your flag you will be allowed to schedule on your designated time/date • Familiarize yourself with the scheduling system
Make sure you complete the process– some students do not complete the last step and have not been enrolled in their classes
Internships • Almost all of our programs have some sort of internship requirement (student teaching, clinical hours, etc) and most are off-campus • Pay attention to the pre-requisitessfor these experiences – be sure to have all required paperwork/certifications completed too
Problem Solving • If you run into difficulty, check with your professor/advisor/Dept. Chair – they may be able to help you • If it is a policy issue, refer to the Undergraduate Catalog or the Ram’s Eye View • Many policies are time sensitive – be sure to find & abide by the timeline for the policy • Most needed forms are located on the Registrar’s page
Student Organizations • There are multiple student organizations open to you. • Campus-wide • Departmental • There are also many volunteer opportunities
Scholarships • Check the WCU Catalog for a complete list • Departmental Scholarships • University Wide Scholarships

Campus & the other is on S. Campus • You will be ticketed and/or towed if you do not register your car & get a parking permit
