How do I schedule an advising appointment?

First-Year students

• First-year freshman (recent or upcoming high school graduates)
• Students who have graduated high school within the last two years and do not have college credits

First-year freshman who begin in the fall semester will complete the enrollment process after completing their RSVP for Orientation. For more full details about this process, please visit our website.

For all other first-year students, you will contact your first-year advisor through OneStop in order to schedule your appointment.

• Continuing students (currently enrolled at Wichita State University)

If you are a continuing student at WSU or a new transfer student, please contact the advising office of your major to schedule an appointment with an academic advisor.
