  • Please make an appointment with your academic adviser as soon as possible. They will be able to help you consider other academic options for your degree goals.

OFFERING GUIDANCE, SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGEMENT EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.

Academic advisers do a lot more than help you pick out classes for the next semester. They’re knowledgeable about helpful resources, different career pathways, ways to get involved on campus and much more. Talking with your academic adviser can help you think about the big picture and choose the path that's right for you.

Your WVU adviser helps you:

  • Find passion and purpose at WVU
  • Narrow your academic interests
  • Choose majors, minors and classes
  • Set and reach goals
  • Find resources, services, mentorship opportunities and activities that fit your interests inside and outside of the classroom
  • Stay on track to graduate on time
