Welcome to the advising homepage for the Department of Communication. From this website you will be able to access information that will guide you towards completing your degree requirements.

Students are encouraged to meet with their department adviser regularly. Transfer students should seek advising early in their academic careers at Wayne in order to ensure that their transfer work is accurately evaluated and that they are registering for the appropriate coursework.

Undergraduate students in the department are assigned to a faculty adviser based on their area of interest and on the first letter of their last name. You should check the link to the left to see who your adviser is in the department and their office hours. If you cannot meet with your adviser during their posted hours, you can select another adviser within your area of interest. If you are having trouble finding an adviser or are unsure of what your major will be you can contact the Academic Services Officer of the department, Vicki Dallas at vdallas@wayne.edu.

Your faculty adviser will assist you with the requirements of your major and possible career paths.
