The Undergraduate Advising Resource Center (UARC), in partnership with the campus community, seeks to empower students to articulate and achieve their personal, educational and career goals.

A typical course load will range from 12 to 18 credits per semester. Students will complete a minimum of 120 credits to graduate, of which at least 42 credits will be general education.

During initial registration, your student will be assigned to a UARC adviser. Later, a faculty adviser will be designated.

Advisers help students by:

• Helping them identify their interests, skills and values and connect them to majors and careers.
• Connecting them to campus resources.
• Providing students options, but leave the decision to him or her.
• Showing students connections between academic preparation and careers.

Students work with advisers to:

• Clarify their interests, skills, values and goals.
• Explore majors/careers as they relate to their goals.
• Learn and understand University, college and department policies, procedures and requirements for graduation.
• Receive assistance with their study habits and academic progress.
• Take responsibility for and follow through on decisions made during advising sessions.

Parents can help by:

• Being available to support and encourage.
• Offering advice, when appropriate and requested.
• Maintaining regular contact.
• Allowing students to make mistakes, on occasion, in this safe environment.

Students also receive help from Peer Advising Liaisons (PALs), “upper-level” UW Oshkosh students who offer academic support and a peer’s perspective about college.
