Your Advisor
CWI students are assigned an advisor based on their program of study:
- Degree-seeking students will be assigned an advisor based on their major within 3 – 5 business days of admission.
- Non-degree seeking students may request to be assigned to an advisor by emailing academicadvising@cwi.edu.
Advising appointments are available in-person, by phone, or online.
First-Semester Advising Requirement
Students seeking a degree or certificate are required to meet with their assigned advisor within their first semester to:
- Create an academic plan.
- Explore your goals.
- Understand academic expectations.
- Review degree requirements.
- And more!
Fulfilling this requirement will allow you to register for classes in future semesters.

Academic Contracts
Academic contracts are a positive and proactive way to assist students in repairing their academic standing and provide the support needed to reach their educational goals. Academic contracts are created with the help of your advisor.
Credit Enrollment Limits
Approval from an advisor is required for students who wish to register for more than 20 credits during a 16-week session or more than 10 credits during an 8-week session.
Contact academicadvising@cwi.edu with questions or to learn more.
Major Changes
Students should meet with their advisor prior to changing their major. Changing your major may impact eligibility for financial aid and veterans benefits as well as increase the time it takes to complete your degree or certificate.
If you do not know who your advisor is, or if you do not need an advising appointment and simply wish to request a major change, email academicadvising@cwi.edu. For full details, see Declaring/Changing a Major in the section of the catalog for more information.
