Undergraduate advising
Our strong team of advisors work with you to create customized plans of work to meet each student’s individual goals. Committed to WSU’s Advising mission and vision, College of Education advisors ensure current and prospective students are affirmed and empowered.
Appointments
Appointments are available online or in person at the College of Education, 5425 Gullen Mall, #489, Detroit.
Current students
Current Wayne State students may meet with an advisor virtually or in person. You can schedule your appointment online or by calling our office 313-577-1601 for assistance.
If you are not available for Virtual Open Advising on Tuesdays, please schedule a virtual appointment with your advisor through Advising Works. When scheduling the virtual appointment, indicate your meeting preference (via phone, Microsoft Teams or Zoom video conference) and your phone number in the comments for scheduling.
Students interested in wanting to change to a major and/or minor in the College of Education, should schedule an appointment. Click the blue button at the top "Make an Appointment," then select "Select type of service, department or activity and subject of appointment." Select "Explore [MAJOR] or [MINOR]". Follow the prompts for name and availability.
Prospective students
Prospective education students, please create an account in STARS and then schedule your appointment online or by calling our office 313-577-1601 for assistance. Locate your future advisor in the advisor by area section below.

Tuesdays Drop-in advising
Students may meet with advisors for drop-in appointments, in person or virtual, every Tuesday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. These meetings are designed to answer questions or address immediate needs a student may have.
Zoom meeting
After connecting through Zoom and once we open Virtual Open Advising/Office Hours on Tuesdays, you will enter the waiting room. The room moderator will ask your questions to determine how best we can assist you. When an advisor or staff member is available, we will move you to a breakout room to meet one-on-one with that advisor or staff member. You must accept the invitation to join the breakout room.
The virtual environment will function much like face-to-face Open Advising/Office Hours. There may be a waiting time to meet with an advisor or staff member. In addition, advisors and staff members will be away during their lunch.
