Academic and Student Resources
The Wheelock College of Education & Human Development provides an array of services, resources, and programs to help students to develop and achieve their academic and professional goals. There is a strong tradition of faculty carrying theory into community action through the creation of programs and centers that not only advance research and academic dialogue, but also provide models for change and innovation.
Academic Resources
Academic Advising
Undergraduate students will not be able to register for classes without meeting with their Academic Advisor to discuss course selection and to receive an Advising Authorization Code (AAC).
Student Services

Additionally, the Graduate Enrollment office provides information and assistance to graduate applicants, admitted students, and continuing students regarding financial assistance.
