Academic Resource Frequently Asked Questions

Emmanuel’s Academic Advisors are here to help you navigate your academic journey during your first two years at Emmanuel. Together, you will select courses each semester, and create an Academic Course Plan. (After you declare a major during your sophomore year, you will be assigned faculty advisor in your department.)

During the fall semester of your first year, you will have group advising sessions and individual meetings with your advisor at critical times, including when mid-semester grades are available and prior to spring course registration.

If questions arise in between these scheduled meetings, your advisor’s door is open! You can schedule a meeting with your Advisor at www.emmanuel.mywconline.com. No question is too big or too small.

It might sound intimidating, but it is a valuable resource for shaping your academic journey. Your advisors are here to help you exceed your academic expectations and graduate in a timely manner, and your Four-Year Academic Plan is a big part of that.

Think of it as the ultimate expression of your goals and interests during your time at Emmanuel. More than just your required courses, you will be able to visualize your intended major, complimentary minors and electives, study abroad plans, internships, and more. Adjustments can be made as you navigate your first few semesters.
