Advising • Career • Exploratory Studies Center

About Us

The Advising • Career • Exploratory Studies Center is focused on you, the student, and your success throughout your academic career. Our three divisions: Academic Advising, Career Counseling, and Career Services, all serve to assist you when you enter the university and when you are preparing to leave. Our trained Academic Advisors can help you decide on your class schedule, find academic resources, and understand your degree evaluation. Our licensed Career Counselors assist you to clarify what you most want in life so that you can find a career path that connects to who you are as a person. Lastly, but certainly not least, our Career Services team functions to assist you in finding employment after college by hosting career fairs, offering resume and cover letter reviews and many other career preparation services.

Changes to service delivery due to COVID-19

All appointments will be done by phone, email or through Zoom (no in-person or drop-in appointments).

Students

For Advising- your academic advisor will contact you via email to schedule an appointment for fall advising. Please check your uwyo email daily. If you are non-degree seeking, newly admitted, a high school guest, or don’t know who your academic advisor is, please email aces@uwyo.edu with your questions.

Due to licensure laws, we are unfortunately unable to provide career counseling to our students at this time. However, students may still make appointments with our staff to discuss career exploration. We can introduce you to the many resources we have that allow for self-guided learning about careers. Scroll down this page to see some of those tools including Handshake and EPIC that are available to all UW students from the ACES homepage; use your UW username and password to log in to the systems.
