FAQs

• How do I learn more about Wayne State University and all of the degree programs it offers?

  Visit wayne.edu/programs or call 877-WSU-INFO (877-978-4636).

• To whom should I speak regarding the general education degree requirements?

  Students should meet with a general education advisor in the Adamany Undergraduate Library (313-577-2680) to obtain the list of general education degree requirements.

• Could a general education advisor answer my questions about the Criminal Justice Program?

  All questions or requests for information about the Criminal Justice major requirements should be directed to the criminal justice advisor at 313-577-0772. Although general education advisors may answer your questions about the criminal justice major requirements, they may not be aware of any recent changes. Thus, all information provided by another source should be confirmed with the criminal justice advisor to ensure it is current and accurate.

• I'm ready to graduate. What do I do?

  At least one semester before a student expects to complete all degree requirements, you should contact a general education advisor (313-577-2680) to verify that you have or will complete all of the general education requirements. Likewise, students should also verify completion of all of the criminal justice major degree requirements with the criminal justice advisor prior to their anticipated last semester.

  Once a student has confirmed that they have or will complete ALL of the degree requirements, an Application for Degree or Certificate must be filed via Academica by no later than the fourth week of classes in the semester the student anticipates completing all of the requirements.

• How do I add, withdraw, or drop a class?

  Students may add, withdraw, or drop a class via Academica prior to the end of the fourth week of classes. However, tuition is reimbursed only if the class is dropped by no later than the end of the second week of classes.

  Students should contact the Office of the Registrar (313-577-3541) for deadlines, policies and procedures relative to dropping or withdrawing from classes.

• How do I request a transcript?

  Students can print an unofficial transcript via Office of the Registrar's requests.
