Staying on Track for Graduation

Through academic advising appointments and online record-keeping tools that facilitate efficient and effective student planning, BW students can easily stay on track for a timely graduation.

Students are encouraged to regularly visit their academic advisors to review coursework, discuss co-curricular, study abroad and experiential learning activities, and plan ahead for graduate school, employment or other post-graduation opportunities. Among tips students can employ for graduating on time include:

  • Carefully reviewing the college catalog and knowing all requirements for graduation

  • Taking an average of 15 credit hours each semester

  • Registering for classes as early as possible to avoid getting shut out of required courses

  • Paying attention to prerequisites needed for upper-level courses

  • Avoiding the need to drop courses unless necessary

  • Considering summer school for needed coursework or to lessen the load during the school year
