Finish in Four

Students committed to finish in four graduate with less debt and enter the job market or graduate school earlier than students who take longer to finish their degree. Below is the student pledge to Finish in Four.

  • I will meet with my advisor to create an Academic Plan.
  • I will complete the courses necessary to gain acceptance to my major.
  • I will make my academics first and maintain good academic standing with the University and my major.
  • I will meet with my advisor each term before class registration begins.
  • I will participate in events and activities that further my academic and career interests.

Are you ready to Finish in Four?  GREAT! Your next step is registration for next semester.  Explore the information on this page for tips that will help you plan for success.

WCU's Dual Advising Model & Registration

Prior to attending WCU, you were assigned an initial advisor based on the information you provided in our online pre-registration web application. This "professional" advisor:

  • was assigned based on your major selection and/or special program affiliation
  • built your first class schedule
  • met with you at Orientation to explain advising and registration processes
  • gave you the Alt PIN that you needed to add or drop classes

Soon after your first term began, if you already declared a major (with exception of some education majors), you were assigned an additional advisor who teaches in your major department. This "faculty" advisor:

  • became your PRIMARY advisor, and therefore the advisor who:
    • meets with you each semester to plan your class schedule for the next term, and
    • gives you the Alt PIN you need to register for classes

If you did not declare a major and have Undeclared/Undecided status, your professional advisor serves as your PRIMARY advisor.
