Military Veterans Advising Team

The team has been created to provide specialized advising and coaching support for military-connected students – veterans, spouses of veterans or dependents of veterans – who plan to enroll or are currently enrolled at Wake Tech.

If you are a continuing Associate in Applied Science degree student, you have an assigned faculty advisor. Your faculty advisor can be found by going to Self-Service, clicking on "Student Planning" and then "Plan and Schedule." There, the faculty advisor's name will be to the right of your profile picture.

Advising is available on a walk-in basis at Southern Wake, Scott Northern Wake and RTP campuses from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. You can also schedule a virtual advising appointment.
