Frequently Asked Questions
 

These questions and answers pertain to the on-campus program. Students in the adult program will find advising information here.

Do I have to see an advisor to register for classes?
You must meet with your advisor during the one-week advising period prior to online registration. A hold will be placed on your records until a registration form signed by your advisor is turned into the Registrar's Office. At that point the hold will be lifted and you can register online during your registration period.

Do all majors require a minor?
If you are pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree, you are required to complete a minor. However, if you are pursuing a Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Social Work, or Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, you do not need to complete a minor.

If I stop attending a class will I automatically be dropped?
No, you will still be enrolled in a class unless you officially withdraw from it. If you simply stop attending class or fail to process the withdrawal paperwork, you will receive a letter grade in the course in accordance with the grading policy.

How do I drop a class?
Add-drop forms are available in the Registrar's Office. They must be filled out completely. It is not necessary that they be signed by your advisor. However, it is recommended that you consult with your advisor before you drop a course as it may affect your academic, residential, and financial aid status. Please see the academic calendar for the exact deadline each semester.

How do I make sure that summer courses taken at a university back home will transfer back to WWU?
If you are planning on taking courses elsewhere during the summer, you will need to fill out a Summer Course Approval from the Registrar's Office. This in the only way you can be sure that courses from other institutions will transfer to WWU.
