Admitted re-entry students are eligible to meet with academic advisors in the Undergraduate Advising Resource Center (UARC). Please call the UARC at (920) 424-1268 to set up an appointment. If you are a student re-entering on probation, you are required to meet with a UARC advisor before you can enroll in classes. You will be scheduled to meet with an appropriate adviser for your college and major.

If you are a student re-entering on probation, you are required to meet with an academic advisor before you can enroll in classes.

Please log into TitanWeb to access your Academic Advisement Report (degree audit report) and bring a copy with you to your advising appointment.

UWO students receive an enrollment date for each term. Students are not able to enroll for a given semester until their enrollment date. Students are assigned an enrollment date based on the number of earned credits. Students can find their enrollment appointment listed in their TitanWeb account under Enrollment Dates on the right hand side. Be sure to click on the “Details” link to see your enrollment date.

If you are able to register for your courses prior to your scheduled advising appointment, it is recommended that you sign up for courses and then finalize your course selections with your advisor during your appointment.

If you register for classes without meeting with an advisor, it is still in your best interest to follow up with an advisor to confirm that your selected courses are going to help you achieve your desired educational path and meet specified requirements.

For further instruction on how to register for your courses, please refer to the TitanWeb Help for Students page created by the Registrar’s Office. If you are unable to find the help you need on this page, please call the Registrar’s Office at (920) 424-3454.
