Advising


Getting advised on time and following through with your plan is the best way to stay on track and finish in four! Advising is a crucial part of your Western Kentucky University experience and the Ogden College of Science and Engineering is committed to making the process as seamless as possible. We have created this Advising Portal to help you navigate the process and understand student and faculty expectations. Please note that Freshmen and Sophomores have two types of advisors. One is through the Advising and Career Development Center, and the other is labeled your faculty mentor. Once you reach Junior status, you will rely solely on your faculty mentor. Pre-professional students also have an additional set of advisors in their last two years.

Priority Registration Begins October 21st!
