Academic Advising and Registration
Undergraduate
Upon admission to the University, all students are assigned an academic advisor. Freshman students with fewer than 24 completed hours are assigned to the Academic Advising Center, located on the first floor of the library. When a freshman student has completed 24 or more hours, she/he is assigned an advisor in her/his major degree program to facilitate course selection and academic program planning. Transfer students with 24 or more hours of coursework are also assigned an advisor in their major field of study.
To enroll in classes, students must consult with their advisor and obtain approval. Students may register online or in the Office of Student Records. Online registration is available to all students except freshmen (under 31 completed hours), new transfer students, and probationary students. Students with fewer than 24 completed hours register in the Academic Advising Center; new transfer students with over 30 credit hours and probationary students register in the Office of Student Records.
Returning students are encouraged to register in the semester preceding enrollment to avoid a late fee. Students may register online between semesters and will be charged a $130 late fee. Students waiting to register until the first week of classes will not be able to register online and must go to the Office of Student Records. A $130 late fee will be added to their registration fees. Course schedules and information on registration times is available each semester on the Registrar’s webpage at http://txwes.edu/academics/registrar/.
