At Winthrop University, faculty members
advise all students who have declared a major. Advising is
also done by the Advisement Coordinator in Student Academic Services
for students who have not declared a specific education major
(pre-education majors or those students who have recently
transferred to Winthrop University). Academic advising at
Winthrop is an integral part of the learning process through which
students are advised of degree requirements, course sequencing,
career opportunities, and campus resources. One of the most
valuable resources is the catalog. PLEASE read and
re-read the catalog. Prior to registration, students at
Winthrop are required to contact their faculty advisor to receive
the appropriate form and to receive assistance in planning course
work for the next term. Ultimately, each student is
responsible for understanding and completing all degree requirements
and making career-oriented decisions.
