Academic Advisors provide support programs and services to assist Walsh College students in achieving their goals. An academic advisor is assigned at the time of admission. Academic advisors are available to help students choose programs and majors and assist with academic planning. All students are encouraged to meet with an advisor during their first semester and thereafter as needed. Students are also encouraged to meet with their advisor if they experience academic difficulties, would like assistance selecting classes, have questions about their academic program, or seek tutoring assistance.
A student’s academic program plan, 'My Progress" is located in the Walsh Student Portal and outlines the course of study at Walsh College based on the academic catalog in effect at the time of admittance. Students may change their degree program, major, or update their program to the newest catalog year. All current admissions requirements and policies will apply.
Students are encouraged to review their program requirements each year. An advisor can confirm courses remaining for program completion and review the cumulative grade point average to ensure that students are meeting the expected requirements. Students can check their progress by viewing their My Progress through our online Self-Service system.
Throughout a student’s course of study, concerns of a personal nature may be experienced that could hinder academic success. Academic advisors are not licensed counselors; however, they can provide appropriate referrals to external resources for personal counseling issues.
A student seeking reasonable accommodation based on a disability should contact a disability and accessibility support services representative immediately after being admitted to Walsh College, or whenever they require an accommodation. A member of the disability and accessibility support services team will meet with the student to review documentation requirements and determine the proper course of action. Reasonable accommodations will be implemented in a timely manner when appropriate to provide access to education and programs at Walsh College. Requests for accommodations should be made as far in advance as possible to provide the disability and accessibility support services staff ample time to make the appropriate arrangements.
Students must request permission through their academic advisor to enroll as a guest student at another institution. Enrolling as a guest student is permitted on an approved basis only. For more information, please refer to the Guest Student at Another Institution section of this academic catalog.
