ACADEMIC ADVISING OVERVIEW: Students at CWU collaborate with advisors to explore opportunities, develop course schedules, and address academic needs. You will work with an advisor as part of your Links Orientation experience to build your first quarter schedule. To avoid registration delays, it is important for you to prepare for your advising appointment. The content on the next several pages will help you prepare for that meeting. This guide is meant to be used throughout the orientation process. As you read through the next several pages please write down your questions, ideas, etc. Make sure to have this guide with you to refer to when meeting with your advisor. NOTE: If you have not already, make sure to complete CENTRAL 101/301 and register for Links Orientation. CENTRAL 101/301 contains information that is critical to your academic planning and registering for Links Orientation is the step you must complete in order to schedule an advising appointment.
