Services: Registration Programs: Summer Advising & Registration

After students are accepted at WSC, they will receive an invitation to attend a summer Registration Day. Students select an appropriate day to come to campus to plan their classes for fall. While on campus for the Summer Registration Day, faculty and professional advisors will assist students to select their first semester's classes. The Registration Day program also provides information about financial aid, fee payment, health services and the residence halls.

Selection of the first semester's classes is an improtant process. Advisors assist students to become acquainted with the general requirements as well as classes for majors and teaching programs. Students should consider a mix of general requirements and classes in the majors. Advisors review the following kinds of information when assisting students to select classes for their first semester in college:

Program of study requirements
ACT, SAT or other ability test results
High school grades
Participation in campus activities (e.g. sports, fine arts, etc.)
Number of hours employed
Family responsibilities
Individual circumstances

The student's first semester class schedule should be a balance of interest area classes to challenge the student and help them connect to their program of study. The classes should be matched to the student's ability level while taking into account the adjustment to college that occurs during the first semester. Undecided students are given an opportunity to explore the many options the college offers to incoming students.
