The goal of the Wharton Undergraduate Division academic advising team is to help students make informed decisions about their educational plans and professional/life goals that are consistent with their interests, abilities, and values.
Your academic advising experience will begin in Canvas, a learning-management system.¹ Starting in early June, you will complete modules in Canvas that will walk you through the curriculum, first-semester course selection, and registration.
Once you have completed the required Canvas modules, you will be able to sign up for an online group advising session through Canvas. In the session, you’ll learn more about the advising system, meet your academic advisor and fellow members of your cohort, and have the opportunity to ask about course registration.
Students in coordinated dual-degree (CDD) programs should consult with their program advisors for information about their programs and curricular requirements. CDD students are welcome to join an online cohort advising session, but are not required to do so.
Individual, one-on-one advising will be available starting in the fall semester. In the meantime, you may email your advisor if you have specific individual questions. Students will receive an email from their academic advisor with their cohort assignment in mid June.
