Military Veterans Advising Team

The team has been created to provide specialized advising and coaching support for military-connected students – veterans, spouses of veterans or dependents of veterans – who plan to enroll or are currently enrolled at Wake Tech.

Each student is assigned to an academic advisor within his or her care team. To find your advisor, go to Self-Service, click "Student Planning," then "Plan and Schedule and then the "Advising" tab.

Advising is available on a walk-in basis from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. You can also schedule a virtual advising appointment.
