Academic Advising

Academic advising is one of the most critical components of student success at Wake Tech. Advisors answer questions, provide valuable information about programs of study and guide students in setting academic goals, selecting courses and making sure they're ready for registration.

Advising is an interactive partnership between student and advisor that supports the student's growth and development. The interactive process helps students identify their interests, skills and abilities, allowing the advisor to customize an education plan for each student’s academic and career goals. Advisors also can help students develop the skills, attitudes, discipline and understanding needed to ensure progress through their studies to earn a degree, diploma or certificate.

Meet your Care Team

Wake Tech uses a case management care team model for advising, providing each student with an assigned team of advisors and support staff. To meet with an advisor, find the team that most closely related to your program of study or intended major.
