Academic Advising

Each UW-BC student is assigned to a faculty or academic staff member who acts as an advisor for both educational and career guidance. The advising process is designed to help students as they make important decisions related to their academic progress at UW-BC. As new advisees, freshmen should become familiar with both their advisor and the advising process. Below you will find guidelines to follow to make the advising process
a successful part of your UW-BC experience.
