Academic Services

Undergraduate Advising & Registration

Academic advising, registration, and support in School of Business undergraduate programs are centralized for the benefit of students in each major. Students with questions regarding their academic needs may contact  Troy Burnett (for Business & Enterprise Management, and Mathematical Business majors), or Seth Youngblood (for Accountancy, and Finance majors).  All members of the undergraduate programs team can be found in the Farrell Hall Student Engagement Suite (room 116).

More helpful information about services and events for undergraduate business students is available at the School of Business Undergraduate Integrative Student Services website.

Graduate Student Academic Services

The office of Graduate Student Academic Services is your resource for all student academic records and registration concerns. Graduate Student Academic Services (GSAS) performs registrarial functions for all graduate programs in the WFU School of Business, including the maintenance of all student, curricula, grade, course, and policy records. GSAS also oversees and manages course registration processes, and works with faculty and other staff members to manage academic progress, enrollment reporting, and degree certification processes. If at any point a student should need to work with or submit a proposal to the Certification Committee, GSAS will serve as the conduit for that correspondence and as a general resource for the student.

Obtaining Verification of Enrollment

Students often require official verification of their student, degree, or enrollment status for various reasons. Verifications are available on WIN/Virtual Campus/Your Student Records/Enrollment Verification or we are happy to provide such verifications upon request.

Obtaining a Transcript

Transcripts are processed through the University Registrar’s Office, with complete directions on how to request one at their website.  If you have any questions concerning the process, the University Registrar’s Office can be reached by email at registrar@wfu.edu or by phone at (336) 758-5207.

The School of Business Graduate Student Handbook

The WFU School of Business Graduate Student Handbook is a very important document for students in all graduate business programs. The Handbook contains information about school policies, procedures, resources, organizations, and programs of study. A copy of the  Handbook (current as of July 2024) is available electronically here: Graduate Student Handbook. For our archival Handbooks, please click on this link. The second-year MBA Concentration requirements are available electronically here: Evening MBA Concentration Requirements and Charlotte Hybrid MBA Concentration Requirements, and Online MBA Concentration Requirements.

Withdrawal from the School of Business

If a student desires to voluntarily withdraw from his/her program, he or she must first discuss the plans with their program associate dean.  To withdraw, a student must submit a dated, written notice to the Certification Committee, through the Graduate Student Academic Services office, including the date of withdrawal.  The statement should include a list of outside agencies to be notified, such as the Veterans Administration, loan programs, etc.  A student who withdraws must clear all accounts with the appropriate Financial and Accounting Services office. Reimbursement of tuition and fees for the semester will be made according to University policies in effect at that time.  Attendance starts from the first day of classes. Fractions of a week count as a full week.

Administrative Withdrawal Due to Lack of Academic Engagement

The School of Business will monitor the ongoing academic engagement of enrolled graduate business students throughout the term using approaches relevant to the program in question (e.g. online course platform engagement for online program students). Once a student lacks academic engagement for two consecutive weeks where courses are active, the WFUSB Graduate Student Academic Services (GSAS) office will work with program leaders to confirm the lack of engagement and notify the student that they will be withdrawn from their program if they do not resume their engagement by a specific date (generally at the three-week point). GSAS will also inform the WFUSB Financial Aid office at this time for possible financial aid and/or scholarship implications. If the student does not resume their engagement by the deadline, they will be withdrawn from their program with an effective date of their last documented date of academic engagement.

Withdrawal Refund Rules

Withdrawal refund rules are available on page 34 of the Handbook.
