Face-to-face advising suspended – advising appointments will be conducted via phone

In accordance with the Presidential Coronavirus Committee recommendations and in response to university suspension of in-person classes, we will be conducting all advising appointments over the phone until further notice. If you have already scheduled an advising appointment (advisingworks.wayne.edu), please email the advisor you are planning to meet to share your phone number. The advisor will call you at the beginning of the appointment time and send any necessary documents via your WSU email prior to the appointment. When you schedule a new appointment, please include your phone number in the “comments” section.

During your phone appointment, please make every effort to be in a quiet space to ensure clear communication. If possible, we ask that you also have access to a computer to reference your Degree Works page and any documents sent to you prior to the appointment.
