Looking Forward

During October, your student is hopefully settled in and comfortable with our campus; however, midterm exams can create stress and anxiety among new students. You may want to refer your student to the Office of Student Success if they鈥檙e worried about their academic performance.

This month, your student will be able to access information to prepare for the spring enrollment process. Encourage your student to check their academic record to ensure they are eligible to enroll at the earliest possible time. Links to the schedule of courses and a helpful semester academic schedule can be found at wichita.edu/schedule. If they aren鈥檛 already, encourage your student to become familiar with the academic advising process and reach out to advisors for help in the degree planning process.

How Can Families Help?

• Encourage your student to check their academic record on to make sure all previous coursework has been posted to their transcript (if applicable). Your student will also need to begin to plan for the upcoming semester by meeting with an academic advisor. If your student doesn鈥檛 know where to go for advising, visit edu/academicadvising. If they don鈥檛 know which college houses their major, visit wichita.edu/majors.
• If your student is unsure of their intended major or needs help choosing one, encourage them to contact the Career Development Center and explore resources at edu/careerdevelopment.
