Academic Advising
The mission of academic advising at Washington Technology University is to further the teaching mission of the University by providing quality, accessible advising to all students.
Academic advisors help students successfully transition to the University and make progress towards their educational goals and graduation. Advisors are part of the educational process, providing academic information and guidance to help students understand curricula, policies, and procedures. Academic advising is a collaborative teaching relationship among academic advisors, students, faculty and the University community. Working with advisors, students identify academic and career goals, create and implement plans, and assume responsibility for their education. Washington Technology University (WTU) offers service and support for all students attending the University.
Academic advising services are available both in person and online. Initially advisors focus on assisting students to meet the transition requirements to ensure that their previous academic experience meets the requirements for the program they seek at WTU. This will include an assessment of their prior experience and academic credits, identification of requirements completed or to be completed, and the building of an academic plan for each student to achieve success and graduation.
Academic advisors work with new and continuing students to identify and coach them through all the graduation requirements and to mentor students that are potentially at high risk for completing their studies.
