At Gardner-Webb University, academic advising is a shared responsibility of the student, success coach, and faculty. Students entering Gardner-Webb University are assigned a personal success coach (with the exception of nursing and education) from the Digital Learning Enrollment division who will assist them with academic advising/registration from their first semester through graduation. In the nursing and education majors, after the student demonstrates academic success, he/she is transitioned to a faculty advisor who will mentor the student in the chosen career field and assist students in the registration process. The faculty advisor or success coach works closely with the students to successfully clarify and attain their personal, professional, and academic goals.
Bulldog Connections are opportunities for students to meet virtually with Success Coaches. General sessions share important information such as drop/add and withdrawal dates, graduation information, as well as time to ask questions. Topical sessions such as Time Management and How to Read a Degree Evaluation are offered throughout a semester. A session at the end of a semester is open for students to make appointments for one-on-one advisement. Can’t make a session? Take advantage of videos of recently held Bulldog Connections.
