WGU Staff & Faculty Access
Campus partners who work with students and/or alumni in an advising or mentoring role can create a demo student account to receive career-related updates, view which employers are recruiting WGU talent, and share opportunities with students and alumni. This is intentional. To best assist your students, your experience should mirror exactly the experience of a student as they navigate through the platform.
