Business & Public Management

To keep track of your academic progress use your degree progress report (DPR). It will show you all satisfied and unsatisfied requirements for your major. Run a DPR at least once every term before you meet with your advisor. You can access your DPR through you MyWCU account. Select "Degree Progress Report".

At a minimum meet with your advisor (or, if you're a pre-business student, with your business counselor) at least once each semester before you schedule for classes. Be sure to schedule a meeting in advance of your course scheduling appointment. Consult with your advisor as needed at other times when you have questions about your academic progress.

Prior to submitting any change requests, students should contact their academic advisor and the chair of the department they seek entrance.
