Every graduate student is assigned an academic advisor at the point of admissions.
You will work with your advisor to plan an appropriate course of study. Every degree
program has an established set of classes. You can check your degree requirements
by using the "Degree Works" tool located in Wingspan. You and your advisor will meet
regularly to make sure you are making appropriate progress to graduation. Your advisor
can help you with a number of things including transferring in previous graduate course
work and substituting course work should you need to.
During each semester, Winthrop University has an advisement period. Your advisor will
contact you and let you know when this time will be. Advisement procedures differ
from advisor to advisor, but typically, advisement is done by individual appointment
in person. Working from your "Degree Works" tool, you should have consulted the course
offerings before meeting with your advisor and be prepared to let them know what courses
you plan to take. Your advisor will need to review your proposed course selections
and clear you for registration using Wingspan. You cannot register until you have
been cleared by your advisor.
