If a WGU student experiences a disruption in their academic journey, what is the recommended action?

Reaching out to a program mentor is the recommended action because mentors are specifically assigned to support students in navigating their academic journey at WGU. They possess an in-depth understanding of the curriculum and the resources available to students. By discussing any disruptions with a mentor, students can receive tailored advice and support, which may include strategies for managing their course load, accessing additional resources, or exploring options for adjusting their academic plans.

This proactive approach fosters communication and encourages students to seek help, ensuring they have the support necessary to overcome challenges. Program mentors are equipped to assist students in assessing their situation and determining the best course of action, making them a valuable resource during difficult times.
