The Gateway Center offers comprehensive advising services for students investigating and preparing for majors. The advisers in the Gateway can help you match your interests with the many opportunities available at the UW. If you are associated with the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), you can visit the EOP Advising and Counseling Center. EOP advisers/counselors offer comprehensive advising as well as assistance with financial, housing, and personal issues. If you have specific majors in mind, you will want to meet the college or department advisers for those majors. If you are interested in engineering, you should meet with an adviser in the Engineering Advising & Diversity Center.
Once you have declared a major, you will meet primarily with your college or department adviser to plan your program, stay connected with your academic community, get help when encountering difficulties, and prepare for graduation. If you are associated with the Educational Opportunity Program, enrolled in the Honors program, and/or if you are a student-athlete, you should continue to work with your adviser in these respective offices in addition to your major adviser.
There are advisers in the Gateway Center who specialize in advising students planning to apply to professional programs such as law school, medical school, dental school, and pharmacy programs. The Educational Opportunity Program also has advisers with expertise in preprofessional advising. Your college or department adviser will also be an important resource in your planning for a professional program.
Your Advising and Orientation date is when you will have your first opportunity to meet with an adviser. Visit the First-Year Programs web site for more information. Transfer students admitted directly to a major may be contacted by the college or department advising office with information on connecting with the program adviser.
If you are interested in entering the UW as a freshman, you should contact the counselors in UW Admissions. Prospective transfer students are encouraged to visit the Gateway Center for Transfer Thursday. Each Thursday afternoon, Gateway Center advisers are available to meet with prospective transfer students on a drop-in basis. In addition, a number of UW majors and preprofessional programs offer information sessions on Thursday afternoons. College and department advising offices also welcome inquiries from prospective transfer students. |
