WGU Ask A Grad

You may have used Ask A Grad to ask questions as a student—but it’s just as valuable now as an alumni learning resource. With nearly 400,000 graduates, WGU’s alumni network spans thousands of industries and employers. It’s a powerful way to connect and learn from others who’ve been where you are or work in your field.

Ask A Grad is also a two-way street—you can continue growing while giving back. If you receive a question in your inbox, it means a student or fellow alum is looking for real advice. Whether it’s about course strategies, job prep, or career insights, your experience could be exactly what they need.
