Student Success Navigators & Advisors
LWTech uses the terms Student Success Navigator and Advisor interchangeably. New students see Student Success Navigators/Advisors in West Building, W207 for help in choosing their first quarter classes. This can be facilitated through drop-in advising or through an appointment.
Once you have begun your program, see your Faculty advisor for help choosing technical classes for future quarters. Your Faculty advisor is most often an instructor in your program. To find your Faculty Advisor contact information, visit your program of study webpage.
