Academic Advising

Each student, upon admission, is assigned an Academic Advisor who will help you to build an academic plan that balances the amount of time you have available each week for study, your class format and schedule preferences, the sequence of learning established by Western's faculty, and the minimum credit hours required for financial aid.

Please communicate with your Advisor each semester prior to registration regarding your progress, your plans for next semester, or other matters which affect your educational goals. Doing so will help you make any needed adjustments in your academic plan as you make progress toward the completion of your degree.

Since your Advisor cares about you as a person and not simply about your academic training, you are welcome to talk with your advisor about anything significant related to your life or ministry. If you have  gone through any difficulties, your advisor could put you in contact with faculty or other staff at Western who could provide academic or personal support to you, or who could direct you to sources of emergency financial assistance.
