Wright State offers advising sessions for students nervous about strike’s impact

FAIRBORN — Wright State University is hosting an advising session for students whose classes have been impacted by the strike.

A number of students showed up Thursday afternoon with concerns about credits or graduation. Wright State wanted to host the advising session to ease those worries.

“I’m concerned because the university has told me over and over again that the class is going to count,” said Andrew Puthoff, a senior. “But it seems like the story keeps changing because they are surprised the strike is going on.”

There are not only department heads available, but also financial advisers.

“They’ll be able to talk to the registrar and the academic chairs, deans, to make sure they can replace classes or do whatever they need to  do to stay on track for graduation,” Student Body President Daniel Palmer said.

Students appreciated the University for the putting on the event, but they aren’t confident they’ll get the answers they’re looking for.

“I’m getting worried they can’t keep that promise because they state accreditation board really decides that your classes count,” said Puthoff. “If I’m not in class then they’re going to know that.”
