Weekend/Evening & Online College
The Weekend/Evening & Online College Academic Advisors provide multiple services such as coordinating advisement for the Weekend/Evening & Online College college student, general education & major support, weekday & weekend advisement appointments, referrals to the Professional & Academic Resource Center (The PARC), in order to effectively assist students on their academic journey. The Weekend/Evening & Online College advisors help empower students by aiding them in understanding their academic program, policies, procedures and providing guidance for graduation.
All Weekend/Evening & Online College students are assigned an academic advisor with whom they plan their academic programs. The academic advisor assists in clarifying general education and major requirements. Students must meet with their advisor at least once each semester in order to register for classes. Entering students meet with an academic advisor once they have been accepted to MSMU. Although the Weekend/Evening & Online College academic advisors make every effort to provide advisement for the student, it is ultimately the student's responsibility to see
that all procedures are followed and requirements fulfilled.
All entering students are required to attend a New Student Orientation. Information regarding Orientation is sent to new students after they have been accepted to MSMU. All students who did not receive transfer credit for Freshman English Composition and/or college level Math, are required to take a placement exam. Placement testing sessions are held prior to New Student Orientation.
Weekend/Evening & Online Advisory Council
The Weekend/Evening & Online Advisory Council was created in June 2016. The goal of the Council is to maximize communication among the various constituencies involved in the WEOC program to address immediate, mid-level and long range opportunities and challenges guided by a clear vision for the future of the Program and the needs of the students it serves. The WEOC Advisory Council is comprised of the Dean of the Weekend/Evening & Online College, WEOC Assistant Dean, all WEOC department chairs and program directors of on-campus and online programs, two ad hoc faculty members from MSMU, a current student, and recent alumni representative, in addition to representatives from key offices on campus. As key constituents of the Weekend/Evening & Online College, Council members will serve in an advisory role regarding program initiatives as well as share in the accurate and timely dissemination of these initiatives throughout the MSMU community.
