WCU faculty are dedicated to providing you with individualized advisement and assistance. We will want for you to meet with your faculty advisor each semester in order to schedule for the next semester, and will not clear you to schedule without a face-to-face meeting. During that time, we can provide professional and academic advisement, and connect you with any support services you may need. While you will always have access to the faculty in the classroom, advisement for the Philadelphia site will be provided by the Chair of each program.
