Am I required to work with an advisor before enrolling in an online program?

All new to Wichita State University students are required to have an advising appointment prior to enrollment. Online students are assigned an online academic advisor based on their degree program, and should work specifically with their online academic advisor.

Your dedicated online academic advisor will:

  • Respond to questions about the admissions process and degree requirements for online programs 
  • Make referrals to appropriate faculty for questions related to specific courses 
  • Review transcripts and work with you on transfer credits 
  • Assist you in developing a plan of study and registering for classes

As you progress toward your degree, certain degree programs require electronic approval from the college before you can register for a class. Typically, these permissions are obtained after you have had an appointment with your online program academic advisor.
