How does advising work?

Before advising week (early November) you will receive an email from your advisor to set up an appointment specifically to plan your spring schedule. Make this appointment as soon as you see the email! (Reach out to your advisor if you do not receive an email!) In the meeting, your advisor will help you develop a schedule and lift your advising hold to ensure you are able to register for courses in WyoWeb. . You can also ask for advice on course withdrawal, resources on campus, career and major choices, financial issues, and any other concerns – your advisor will help you with answers and also put you in touch with the right people and resources.

Where is my advisor's office?

Each college has its own advising offices. Students who have not declared a major are considered "Exploratory Studies" majors until they declare. They are advised by professional advisors in the ACES office. ACES advisors also advise students who are in the Fall Bridge program.
