Academic Advisor Responsibilities

select appropriate courses for your choice of major
explain policies and procedures
assist with schedule conflicts
facilitate policy exception requests
determine graduation needs

Registration

Student Academic Report (STAR)

The STAR displays all your completed courses according to their University application. Examples of this application are English Composition, Non-Western Culture, Humanities, Lab Science/Natural Science, etc. This information will aid both you and your advisor in determining which requirements are completed and which ones remain. The instructions on printing and accessing your STAR are on TitanWeb. Remember to bring your STAR with you when meeting with your advisor.

TitanWeb

TitanWeb is the University’s online registration system. TitanWeb allows students to review their enrollment appointment, add/drop courses, print class schedules, do class searches, check assigned advisors, print unofficial transcripts, review holds, check grades, print STARs and link to the electronic catalog.

Course Prerequisites

Many courses at UW Oshkosh require other courses be completed or satisfied prior to enrolling in the desired course. Always check the most current B.B.A. Planning Sheet for prerequisites. If there are still questions, contact your advisor.

The College monitors prerequisites. If you have not met course prerequisites, you will be removed from the class in question, and notified by mail. In addition, PeopleSoft will prevent your registering in a course when prerequisites are not met. Rescheduling for the same section of that course is not guaranteed if removed from the course.

Students with sufficient expertise, which may exempt them from a course prerequisite, should consult an advisor in the UARC or faculty advisor. The advisor will assist in completing an appeal form. This request must be approved by the College of Business Undergraduate Program Director. Students that have completed a prerequisite course at another university/college must have an official transcript sent to the UW Oshkosh Admissions Office to be evaluated and added to your UW Oshkosh transcript.for an evaluation.

Access to a Closed Course

Some sections of classes are filled during registration and before the semester begins. The procedure for access to a closed section varies with the college and/or the class. If the course is a College of Education, Nursing or Letters and Science course, permission is obtained from the course instructor or department chairperson. The course instructor can: 1) sign your add card granting permission; 2) put your name on a wait list, or; 3) say "no." If school is not in session, contact the department secretary concerning procedures.

If it is a College of Business course, students should visit the College office, Clow 151 (424-1444). See COBA Waitlist Policy in Policies and Procedures section.
Remember, prerequisites must also be met for the course.
