BY THE NUMBERS

66,900

The number of notes WVU advisers have added or updated in DegreeWorks, April 2021 – December 2021.

21,216

The number of advising appointments logged into Navigate* in Fall 2021.

9,492

The number of advising hours logged into Navigate* in Fall 2021.

*The actual number is likely higher since not all units on campus utilize Navigate, WVU’s student success management system, the same way.
