Academic Advising

Academic advising at the Wayne campus is concerned with assisting students in making the best possible decisions about their academic life. Wayne College advisors are “generalist” and can help assist students with the following:

Explore majors, minors and certificates to meet students’ interests and abilities
Conduct new student orientation (NSO) programs
Identify strategies for academic success
Establish realistic academic goals
Interpret academic policies and procedures
Assist with class registration and selecting courses
Referral to campus resources
Provide guidance in understanding Workday and Stellic
Ensure academic progress and assist with degree completion
Serve as a liaison to Akron campus offices and Akron academic programs and majors

We encourage all Wayne College students to meet with their academic advisor at least once a year and freshmen to meet with their academic advisor at least once a semester. Your academic advisor can help you stay on track so you can graduate on time. The best way to schedule an academic advising appointment is to contact Student Services at (330) 972-8900. Students can meet with their advisor in-person, virtually or by telephone.
