Lower-Division Advisors (LDAs)

You will be assigned a lower-division advisor in mid-August.

The lower-division advisor is a member of the faculty or staff who provides academic guidance and support. Your lower-division advisor will be available during New Deac Week to review your schedule with you. Until you declare a major, your lower-division advisor will guide and support you during and between registration periods. However, no meeting with your LDA is required for your upcoming summer registration. During the academic year we encourage you to arrange additional meetings at any time to seek advice or assistance.

Professional Advising Staff (OAA)

In addition to your lower-division advisor and your student advisor, academic counselors in the Office of Academic Advising can assist with academic planning, navigating university policies and procedures, and any other academic need or concern.

Walk-in hours are Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m., in Reynolda Hall, Room 125.

Student Advising Program (SAs)

You will be assigned a student advisor in mid-August.

Your student advisor is an upperclass student who is trained to provide academic guidance and mentorship and will work with your lower-division advisor. Both will be available to assist you with your transition to Wake Forest. The Office of Academic Advising will introduce you to your student advisor via WFU Google Mail in mid-August.

Pre-Professional Advisors

Pre-professional advisors for the health professions (medical, dental, veterinary medicine, PA, PT, nursing, etc.), pre-law, pre-engineering, pre-business, pre-Wall Street and pre-graduate school are also available to meet with you.
