WCU Faculty are responsible for following the Principles of Advisement as defined in the Faculty Handbook.
Additional information is found in the Advising Manual (PDF).
Early Alert
The Early Alert System is designed to assist students who are experiencing academic and other difficulties during their time at WCU by providing University employees with a convenient means to make referrals to the students' assigned advisors and mentors.
Any time faculty and staff are concerned about a student, whether the student is a beginning freshmen or a last semester senior, they are encouraged to make a referral. By seeking to address the students' needs as they arise or become noticed, appropriate interventions can help to empower students to make choices that have a positive impact on their academic success.
