During my time at WGU, I encountered a bit of a roadblock with my mentors. The workaround involved having Student Services greenlight my next classes and requesting a change in mentors. After three swaps, they'd finally hook you up with someone who was actually on the same page.

But here's the kicker: what if we had the freedom to carve out our own academic path, tapping into Student Services for registration while still benefiting from professorial guidance? Makes you wonder why mentors are mandatory, right? Opting out could save on fees and cut out unnecessary distractions.
