Transfer, Nontraditional & Veteran Students

UW Orientation

Students socializing on Prexies Pasture

The University of Wyoming has a mandatory advising policy for all students (except non-degree graduate and distance students). Some colleges utilize professional advising staff, while in some colleges faculty advise students. Either way, each semester a student must see his or her advisor to discuss a schedule of classes before he or she can register. Advisors are the only individuals authorized to release PERC (Personal Enrollment Registration Code) numbers each semester.

Academic Advising

Each academic college, as well as the School of Energy Resources and the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources, has an advising coordinator for transfer students; there is an advising coordinator for undeclared students, as well. These individuals are available to assist you if you are not able to attend a Transfer, Non-Traditional, or Veteran Student Orientation. When appropriate, they will help get you connected with your home academic department and a faculty advisor.
