Academic and Advising Updates

If you have seen some new faces on campus or Zoom this semester, you’ve probably seen one of our new advisers. The National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) identifies new advisers as people who are under three years in the role. Here at WVU, about 15% of our advisers are less than one year in the role. “Some of our turnover is due to growth in professional advising,” Joy Carr, Director of University Advising at WVU states. “Sometimes people move on to different careers or move out of state. Our turnover is consistent with turnover nationwide.”

As recently announced, a revised and refreshed Class Registration page in the IT Help Center has been developed to support students, advisers and staff involved in the registration process.
