The UWO Guide contains information and resources dedicated to helping you during your transition to college and throughout your time here. Titans are leaders, researchers and champions—we can’t wait to help you discover what kind of Titan you will be!
This publication is for all new students—whether you are a first-year or transfer student. It has been designed for you to use during Titan Takeoff and throughout your student experience…so keep it handy.
At UW Oshkosh, student success is at the heart of all we do. Departments and staff from across campus contribute to the guide with the hope that the new information you learn about UW Oshkosh will help make your college experience a great one.
There are four sections in the UWO Guide: Learning at UWO, Life at UWO, Making Your Home at UWO and Things to Know at UWO. It includes some of the departments and services—and the people, places and things—that will be part of your daily life. New Student and Family Programs takes a holistic
approach to your transition to the UWO undergraduate experience by considering all aspects of collegiate life. We want to assist you with navigating campus, creating a safe and respectful environment and achieving success as a Titan.
UW Oshkosh and the surrounding community provide abundant opportunities for students to work, learn and explore. This guide will provide you with information about academic expectations and where to get help with everything from studying and getting involved on campus, to becoming an active member in our thriving community.
Take some time during Titan Takeoff to make new friends. This is an exciting start for all new students, and we’re glad you’re here. Again—we welcome you to the Titan family. Hail Titans!

The University Studies Program (USP) is UW Oshkosh’s general education program embracing the traditional breadth of a liberal arts education in the modern context of liberal education.
Learning ExperiencesStudents can choose USP courses that match their interests, expose them to new subjects and keep them on track to complete their general education requirements.
Students who start their college career at UW Oshkosh take two Quest courses in their first year as well as a public speaking class and a writing class. In addition to covering disciplinary content, these courses are designed to help students transition to college life by exposing them to campus resources and activities. In particular, the first Quest class offers the following:
• Course enrollment limited to 25 students per section • Pairing with either a public speaking class or a writing class, meaning students are enrolled in the same section of both classes to foster a community of learning • Returning students are chosen as “peer mentors” to help first-year students find their way to events, answer questions about campus and direct them to resources and support services
In the second semester, Quest II is designed to help students plan their future in college, work and life. In addition to covering disciplinary content, Quest II offers exposure to undergraduate research, academic and student organizational opportunities, career planning and alumni interaction.
Students take a third and final Quest course during the fall or spring semester of their second year. Learning in this course is enhanced by a community engagement experience. Students extend their classroom into a community setting by working with a local nonprofit, community group or campus partner. This opportunity allows students to apply their classroom learning to a real-world, practical experience.

Quest III Community Partners• Habitat for Humanity• Oshkosh Area Community Pantry• Local farmers, schools, veterans and multicultural groups
Course RequirementsQuest courses are designated on TitanWeb as Quest I, Quest II and Quest III. Students take a Connect course (Writing 288) after completing the Quest sequence. Connect offers a reflective experience on the liberal education attained by students and uses writing as the primary mode of inquiry.
During their first two years, students take additional general education courses chosen from a number of different disciplines. These Explore courses are divided into the categories of Culture (XC), Nature (XL)(XM) and Society (XS). At least one Explore course must focus on Ethnic Studies (ES) and another on Global Citizenship (GC).
Signature QuestionsThree signature questions, drawn from the American Association of Colleges and Universities’ list of essential learning outcomes, are woven throughout the USP curriculum.
• Civic Learning: How do people understand and engage in community life? • Intercultural Knowledge: How do people understand and bridge cultural differences? • Sustainability: How do people understand and create a more sustainable world?

“While I could not do my work without the specific legal education I received in law school, I would not be nearly as good at my work without the critical thinking and strong communication and collaboration skills which came out of my general education courses. It is the flexibility, creativity, problem-solving and intellectual curiosity gained in my liberal arts classes—philosophy, anthropology, history, sociology—which have helped me to adapt, prosper and continue to succeed. These are some of the most important courses you’ll take in your undergrad years.”

ACADEMIC ADVISING
Undergraduate Advising Resource CenterThe Undergraduate Advising Resource Center (UARC), the central academic advising office at UW Oshkosh, is staffed by full-time professional academic advisers and Peer Advising Liaisons (PALs). The UARC serves undergraduate students in all majors with specific emphasis on students who have earned less than 45 credits, have not yet declared a major or are on academic probation. Professional advisers in the UARC are generalists (can advise for all majors), but also specialists with expertise in a specific college or program. All undergraduate students begin their advising in the UARC.
Your UARC adviser will:• Get to know you and help you reach your academic goals• Assist you with exploring majors, careers and campus resources• Help with course selection, semester planning and staying on track to graduate

PALs are available in the UARC office in the Student Success Center during regular business hours. PALS are trained to assist their fellow students with a variety of concerns. PALs are able to quickly determine if a student’s question or concern can be answered on the spot, requires a referral to another office, can be addressed quickly by an adviser in a drop-in session or if a scheduled advising appointment is necessary. If an appointment is needed, the PAL will help schedule the appointment for the student.
Faculty AdvisingEventually all undergraduate students will transition to a faculty adviser in the department of their major. Academic departments determine at which point faculty advising begins (usually based on fulfilling a certain number of credits, completing specific pre-major courses or formal admission to the college/major). Faculty advisers help students identify graduate school and career options in their field of study as well as advise students regarding course completion required for graduation. Faculty advising places special emphasis on selecting courses, research, internships and other activities in the major that will best prepare students for graduate school or professional life after graduation.

STUDY ABROAD
“It’s so worth it! I contemplated studying abroad for so long because it felt like such a long time to be away from my family. I can definitely say I’m glad I took the opportunity. Studying abroad really does help you to become more independent and meet new people. The best part is getting to experience a different culture; you learn something new every day.”
Jordyn Venden, Germany, fall 2018
“Having the opportunity to study abroad was probably one of the greatest experiences of my life. Not only was I able to go to Ireland, a place of great importance to my family’s heritage, but I also was able to learn more than I ever could have asked for. I experienced true Irish culture, learned about the country’s history and saw some of the most beautiful landscapes in the world. Studying abroad offers so much more than just being a tourist. It’s truly a unique and unforgettable experience!”

BILLINGBilling of tuition and fees is done electronically through TitanWeb with email notifications sent to a student’s UW Oshkosh email account. There are three billings for fall and spring semesters and two for summer. Initial billing is done three to four weeks prior to the start of the semester.
Payment is due in full on the first scheduled due date (after the 10th day of classes) unless the student has signed the electronic Partial Payment Plan found on TitanWeb. The Partial Payment Plan allows for three monthly installments versus paying in full on the first due date. With the payment plan, 10 percent of the total bill is due the first date and two 45-percent payments are due the following months. The amount due for a student will be shown on TitanWeb under the account balance summary section. If the payment plan has been signed, there is a 1-percent finance charge assessed the first business day of the month for any unpaid balance.
It is important to check TitanWeb regularly for new charges. Students will often charge books to their account or have Student Health Center charges throughout the semester.
Grant TitanWeb access for a family member(s) if a student wishes to allow another person to view their TitanWeb account for billing and academic purposes. By federal law, the University is not able to speak to anyone other than the student about their student account unless they grant permission to additional people through TitanWeb.
Payment can be made at the Cashier’s Office in Dempsey Hall, second floor, main hall, with cash or check. Payments can also be made online with an e-check or credit card. The e-check requires entering a bank routing and account number and costs $0.50. The credit card option comes with a 2.75% fee.
Late payments will result in a hold on the account. The hold will prevent adding classes, transcripts and future enrollment. Missing the first payment of the semester may result in being withdrawn from classes. If a payment plan has not been signed, there is a $75 late charge for non-payment by the due date.
Financial Aid is applied automatically to student accounts around the start of classes if aid has been accepted. Overages will be refunded via direct deposit, found on TitanWeb, or by check, which takes two weeks to process. Students with financial aid still need to check TitanWeb to ensure payments
post to their account. Financial aid payments may be delayed if there are items on their to-do list found on TitanWeb.
Visit the Student Financial Services webpage at uwo.sh/student-finances for more information on tuition and fees, payment deadlines, the partial payment plan, direct deposit, 1098T form, drop dates and hours of operation. Refer to the FERPA section on page 46 of this guide for more information about how students can grant others, such as parents, access.

Community Service Officer ProgramCommunity Service Officers (CSOs) are student employees who provide additional safety and security on campus. They patrol the campus in pairs, work security stations within the residence halls during nighttime hours, offer the Safewalk, Saferide and Saferoute programs and provide additional resources for special events.
Titan AlertsTitan Alert, a campuswide alerting system, is used to communicate important campus information directly to mobile phones, email and social media. Students, faculty and staff can sign up to receive these alerts by visiting uwosh.edu/emergency/titanalert.
Reporting Incidents We have several different ways to connect with the police department to report incidents and information. The UWO mobile app has several reporting options. Our website also is available to report non-emergency incidents.

UW OSHKOSH POLICE DEPARTMENTThe UW Oshkosh Police Department is dedicated to developing partnerships with the community we serve in order to support and enhance the mission of the University. As a team, we preserve a learning environment that supports inclusivity, excellence and quality of life across campus to provide a safe atmosphere for all students, faculty, staff and visitors of UW Oshkosh.
UWO Mobile AppThe UWO mobile app is available for iPhone and Android phones. Instructions on how to download the app can be found on the UW Oshkosh Police Department website.
UWO GoUWO Go is a non-emergency service that provides an on-demand safe ride for students and employees on and near the UW Oshkosh campus. UWO Go runs seven days a week when classes are in session at no cost for students currently enrolled at UW Oshkosh. This system operates like Uber or Lyft—however it’s free for UWO students and employees of the University. Learn more at uwosh.edu/police/uwogo.
SafewalksSafewalks are available to students, employees and campus guests who wish to be escorted at night to and from areas close to campus. Use the UWO Mobile “Chat with a Dispatcher” feature or call the police department at (920) 424-1212 to request a walk. The Safewalk boundary is roughly five blocks from the edge of campus in any direction.
Medical Safety PolicyThe safety of our campus community members always will be our top priority. This philosophy sets the foundation for how we respond to requests for assistance as it relates to alcohol and drug use and provides assurance to our community members that officers will place the health and well-being
of our students ahead of legal penalties. Therefore, if a community member calls for assistance (e.g. police, EMS or residence hall staff) due to a level of their impairment or the impairment of a community member they’re with, police officers will not issue a citation to community members. Instead they will be referred to the Dean of Students Office for educational sanctions. However, this policy is not intended to provide relief from legal consequences or administrative discipline in relation to serious crimes, including—but not

On Campus HousingResidence Life strives to make the UW Oshkosh residence halls a clean, safe and inclusive environment for students. National trends continue to show students who live in residence halls are more likely to be successful academically, complete their education and develop greater interpersonal skills.
Housing RequirementMost new students are required to live in the residence halls unless they live within a specified distance and commute from their parent or legal guardian’s permanent home within 45 miles of campus. Additionally, UWO will exempt anyone from the housing requirement if one or more of the following are true by the first day of a fall semester:
• They have successfully earned at least 48 credits.• They are at least 21 years of age.• They have lived in a residence hall for four semesters.• They are married.• They are a veteran.

Housing-exempt students must complete a commuter card on or before the first day of fall classes. The commuter card can be found at uwosh.edu/housing/go/commuter-card.
Room AssignmentsMost students choose their residence hall through our online room sign-up. Information about our sign-up process—including important dates—can be found at uwosh.edu/housing.
Specific dates and time slots for room sign-up are based on the date the housing deposit is submitted through the housing application. Students must complete a housing application to participate in room sign-up. Students receive all information regarding room sign-up through their UW Oshkosh email account.
RoommatesNew students should expect to share a room with a roommate. Students have the opportunity to request and confirm a roommate in advance of selecting a residence hall space. The deadline to confirm a roommate is included in the room sign-up “important dates.”
Residence Life staff support and encourage the development of civil, respectful roommate relationships in a variety of ways. All roommates will create a roommate agreement in the
first weeks of the semester. Hall staff, including community advisers and residence hall directors, review all roommate agreements and act to assist students if other concerns arise. Move-InResidence Life staff work hard to create a move-in experience that is a positive, low-stress and exciting start to the academic year for students, parents and families. Students are encouraged to visit the move-in section of the Residence Life website for complete details and important updates at uwosh.edu/housing/go/move-in.

What to ExpectMove-in day can be busy with traffic, parking, luggage and people. By following the process and reviewing the online information page, students and their families can begin happily unpacking shortly after arriving on campus.
All students and their families will begin moving in at our drive-through check-in. Simply pull into the designated lot at the pre-selected time and provide photo ID to receive keys and unloading passes.
After following the designated route to an assigned hall, the vehicle(s) will pull into an unloading zone to drop off belongings. The driver then moves the vehicle to the appropriate parking lot while others from the student’s party begin moving items into the room.
Volunteers will be available at all halls to assist with unloading, provide directions for students and families, answer questions and ensure a positive move-in experience.
How to PackJoin Residence Life in creating a sustainable move-in! Students are encouraged to use sturdy, reusable boxes or crates to keep items together. All containers should be labeled with the student’s name, residence hall and room number prior to arriving on campus. Volunteers will unload the vehicle(s) while keeping belongings together.
Bed Linen and Loft ProgramsResidence Life has partnered with two vendors to help students with their loft and bed linen needs. Below is information on the companies and the services they provide.
• On Campus Marketing UW Oshkosh has been offering the Residence Hall linens program since 1993. When students reserve college bedding through this program, they ensure the right size linens for move-in. The selection is larger than what can be found anywhere else, at prices that are budget-friendly; every product is guaranteed to fit and guaranteed to last from move-in to graduation.
We recommend that families and students respond early to have the widest selection of college bedding to choose from. Visit rhl.org/wok to place an order.

ACCESS TO STUDENT RECORDSThe Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a federal law that grants students the right to determine who will receive academic information about them. Students must authorize the release of records before any third party— including parents or guardians—can view them.
The University has made it easy for students to grant access to third parties/parents through our online system called TitanWeb. After logging into TitanWeb, students will see a link that is called “Grant Access to Others” on their Student Center page.
Choose third party access for four types of information: • View financial aid awards • View student conduct • View and pay tuition and fees • View grades and term statistics
A confirmation email that shows the login and password for the new account needs to be forwarded to third parties/parents so they know how to log in. If parents don’t have internet access, students can download the records and provide them.
This also allows the third parties/parents to contact the University to ask questions about this information. Other records, such as mental health, physical health and faculty notes/records, are restricted by federal and state laws, University policy and professional standards. Students can release information from these records to a third party on a case-by-case basis through that particular office.
In most cases, the University will not contact parents or provide medical, academic or disciplinary information without the student’s consent. In an emergency where the student’s health is in jeopardy or there is a concern that the student poses a threat to themselves or to someone else, the University will contact parents. As a rule, if the student is able to communicate about the situation, they are expected to decide whether and how to discuss it with family members.
Questions about FERPA should be directed to the FERPA Coordinator at (920) 424-3407 or the Registrar’s Office at (920) 424-4077.

Students are responsible to be informed about what constitutes academic misconduct, how to avoid it, and what happens if they engage in it. Examples of academic misconduct include (but are not limited to):
• Plagiarism (turning in work of another person and not properly citing the work) • Copying another student’s homework, paper or exam • Cheating on an exam • Allowing another student to copy your work • Falsifying academic documents
What happens if a student engages in academic misconduct? UW Oshkosh takes academic misconduct allegations very seriously. Professors will contact students if it is believed that they engaged in academic misconduct and may ask them to explain their work. If they still believe the student engaged in misconduct after meeting with them, they will decide on a sanction, which may include a zero on the assignment or exam, a lower grade in the course or failure in the course. The Dean of Students Office is informed of academic misconduct. Repeated acts of academic misconduct may result in more serious actions such as probation or suspension.
For more information, visit uwosh.edu/deanofstudents/student-conduct.
What should students do if they know a classmate is cheating? If a student knows a classmate is cheating on an exam or other academic exercises, they should notify their professor or exam proctor. As a part of the University community, students are expected to uphold the standards of UW Oshkosh. Also, consider how a classmate’s dishonesty on the exam may affect the overall grading curve and other students’ grades in the class.
How to avoid academic misconduct
• Avoid copying and pasting directly from the internet.
• Know how to cite sources in a paper, lab report or other assignments.
• Use the Writing Center for help with citations. They are experts in APA, MLA and other citation styles.
• Understand the expectations and limitations when working in groups (i.e., Is collaboration allowed on the project or written paper? Should the project or written paper be done alone?).

“The freedom to debate and discuss the merits of competing ideas does not mean that members of the University community may say whatever they wish, wherever they wish. Consistent with longstanding practice informed by law, institutions within the System may restrict expression that violates the law, that falsely defames a specific individual, that constitutes a genuine threat or discriminatory harassment, that unjustifiably invades substantial privacy or confidentiality interests, or that is otherwise directly incompatible with the functioning of the University. In addition, the institutions may reasonably regulate the time, place and manner of expression to ensure that it does not disrupt ordinary activities. But these are narrow exceptions to the general principle of freedom of expression, and it is vitally important that these exceptions never be used in a manner that is inconsistent with each institution’s commitment to a completely free and open discussion of ideas.
“These principles carry responsibilities. Academic freedom carries the responsibility for the faithful performance of professional duties and obligations. All members of the university community at each of the institutions in the University of Wisconsin System share in the responsibility for maintaining civility and a climate of mutual respect. Although members of the university community at each institution are free to criticize and contest the views expressed on campus, they may not obstruct or otherwise interfere with the freedom of others, including speakers who are invited to campus, to express views they reject or even loathe. Freedom of
expression also carries the obligation to make clear that when speaking on matters of public interest or concern, one is speaking on behalf of oneself, not the institution.
“Each institution in the University of Wisconsin System has a solemn responsibility not only to promote lively and fearless exploration, deliberation and debate of ideas, but also to protect those freedoms when others attempt to restrict them. Exploration, deliberation and debate may not be suppressed because the ideas put forth are thought by some or even by most members of the University community (or those outside the community) to be offensive, unwise, immoral or wrong-headed. It is for the members of the University community, not for the institution itself, to make those judgments for themselves, and to act on those judgments not by seeking to suppress exploration of ideas or expression of speech, but by openly and vigorously contesting the ideas that they oppose. Indeed, fostering the ability of members of the University community to engage in such debate and deliberation in an effective and responsible manner is an essential part of each institution’s educational mission.”
(Policy Statement, Section 1, UW System Policy RPD 4-21)
