The Office of Academic Affairs welcomes you to the UW community!

At the beginning of each academic year, our office hosts a New Faculty Orientation to help welcome our newest members to campus. The goal of this orientation is to connect you with various resources across campus so that you begin your time with us as informed as possible. 

 

For more information about this event, check out our New Faculty Orientation page.

Until the Office of Academic Affairs receives verification that you have completed the
terminal degree (PhD, EdD, JD, MFA, or whatever is appropriate in your discipline), your
appointment is at the rank of Instructor. This appointment automatically changes to the
rank of Assistant Professor when Academic Affairs receives proper verification.

 

Transcripts must be sent directly from the institution that granted the highest degree to the Office of Academic Affairs. Transcripts may be sent electronically directly from the institution that granted the highest degree to facultyaffairs@uwyo.edu, or by mail to the address below.

Please see our full terminal degree policy before sending in your transcripts.

If you are a new faculty member starting on the new faculty reporting date, you should receive online access to all of your accounts (email, WyoCourses, WyoVita, WyoFolio, etc.) by August 1st.
