Pre-Major Advising 

All first-year students will be assigned a pre-major advisor who will provide assistance during their first year at Wesleyan.  Pre-major advisors assist students in clarifying their values, goals, and interests as well as understanding the nature and purpose of higher education. 

In addition, advisors help students understand the College's general education requirements; prepare fall and spring term registrations; and assist students with fulfilling college requirements.  The advising process involves planning an educational program consistent with the student's interests and abilities while providing accurate information about educational options, requirements, policies, and procedures.  

Students are required to attend a Group Advising Session in order to prepare for scheduling their spring courses.  Students must attend one of the following Group Advising Sessions:

     Wednesday, Oct. 31^st 9:30am, BA 236
