Advising Process

1. Find advisor

   • Verify current academic advisor through WyoWeb; be sure to select the current term.

   • Verify career advisor during advising appointments. [Students who have Debbie Shoefelt as their academic advisor are also assigned a career advisor (nursing faculty). The career advisor is the person students should contact with questions related to the nursing profession.]

   • Request advisor change if having problems/conflicts with assigned advisor or if advising needs are not being met. Contact Basic BSN advising office at basicbsn@uwyo.edu, 307-766-4292, Room 335, School of Nursing, to request a change of advisor.

2. Find out when advising takes place

   • Advising week is April 1-5, 2013 for Fall 2013 Registration.

   • Additional advising appointments may be offered in the week(s) following the UW scheduled Advising Week. (Check assigned academic advisor's sign-up calendar for available appointments.)

3. Sign up for advising

   Advising appointments are scheduled through an electronic/online advising appointment sign-up system. Students should adhere to the appointment schedule as posted by advisor unless prior arrangements have been made.
   
   Please note that advising appointments are scheduled for the Mountain (MDT) Time Zone. Be sure to make note of that time zone when scheduling advising appointment as well as within the appointment confirmation email in order to be on time for appointment. Advisors have experienced a few students whose devices (computers, phones) that were used to schedule appointments were potentially set up for a different time zone. Thus, students were either early or late for advising appointments. Be sure to make note on appointment confirmation that the time reflects the Mountain (MDT) Time Zone and not a different time zone.
   
   Follow directions within the links below for scheduling advising appointment with designated academic advisor. Students receive an appointment confirmation email confirming their scheduled appointment and should check to make sure that it reflects their designated advisor! (If students have any problems or questions about the process, they should contact Debbie Shoefelt at shoefelt@uwyo.edu / 307-766-4292.)

4. Preparing for advising appointment and what to bring

   • Basic BSN Program of Study (check out this document for assistance in planning out your schedule)

   • Planned schedule of courses utilizing Advising Schedule Worksheet (download, fill out, and bring to advising appointment)

   • CAPP - Student Degree Evaluation: bring a current copy of "Remaining Requirements Degree Evaluation" printed in landscape format from WyoWeb account (check out CAPP section below for additional information)

   • Questions

   • Paper/pen with which to take notes

5. Canceling Advising Appointments

   • If students are using an Outlook calendar, their scheduled appointment is automatically inserted into their calendar. To cancel, students can simply delete the appointment from their Outlook; that action will generate an email to the advisor canceling the appointment.

   • If students are not using Outlook, they should email their academic advisor identifying that they need to cancel the appointment that was scheduled (it is important to identify the date/time) so that the advisor can cancel it out of their Outlook Calendar and potentially open the time back up to another student.

   • To schedule a new appointment, students should click back in to their designated academic advisor link above and follow the directions again in the TimeTrade calendar.

CAPP - Student Degree Evaluation

CAPP is a degree progress report/advising support system that will match completed and current UW course work (and any transfer courses a student might have) with their degree requirements to determine their progress toward earning their degree. CAPP is available to students and faculty advisors through WyoWeb. Please refer to the UW Class Schedule for additional information regarding CAPP along with how to access in WyoWeb.

Information specific to the School of Nursing with regards to CAPP - Student Degree Evaluations:

• The Basic BSN advising office routinely works with the Registrar's Office to keep the Basic BSN CAPP Degree Evaluation template current as curriculum changes occur. 

• Students should be aware that the copy which they view/print out may not be 100% accurate. Clearing up discrepancies with regards to programming issues, general transfer credits, etc. is an ongoing process for the school. Questions/concerns, please contact the Basic BSN advising office at (307) 766-4292 or basicbsn@uwyo.edu.

• It is ultimately the student's responsibility to be sure that all requirements are being cleared and satisfied on their Degree Evaluation so that they are eligible for graduation. Any discrepancies noted should be addressed with the Basic BSN advising office at (307) 766-4292 or basicbsn@uwyo.edu or 335 Health Sciences Center.

• The School of Nursing conducts formal degree checks with students during the spring semester of the junior year of the nursing curriculum. Advisors remind/inform students when it is time to do this requirement. 

• Notify the Office of the Registrar in writing of anticipated graduation date. Access the "Anticipated Graduation Date" form listed on the Registrar's "Forms and Petitions for Students" page at http://www.uwyo.edu/registrar/students/forms_and_petitions.html. Submit no later than the semester preceding the semester of anticipated graduation. Complete a new form if anticipated graduation date should change.

Registration

PERC Information

• PERC (Personal Electronic Registration Code) is a 6-digit number that students enter to clear the Advisor Approval hold prior to registering for each term.

• Students' PERC numbers will change every semester. They will be prompted to enter their PERC the first time they register for classes each semester.
