Academic Advising Home
Welcome!
We’re here for you! Regularly meeting with an academic advisor is an important part of your journey at WWU, and our team is eager to support you. We’re committed to your success, ready to guide you through your academic planning, and here to connect you with resources that will help you make the most of your Western experience.
Name Change
We’re excited to share that our department is transitioning to our new name: Academic Advising & Career Readiness (AACR). This change reflects our expanded role in supporting students through both academic advising and career readiness.
As we update our website, materials, and communications, you may see our old and new names used during this transition. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make these updates!
