College of Education Bylaws
The College of Education bylaws create a formal, transparent, functional and common language for guiding governance and decision-making within the unit. The current College of Education Bylaws were approved on September 19, 2024.
Advising Resources
Registration for fall and spring semester courses requires that students receive advising. Advising is not required for summer semester registration. Please check the academic calendar for advising week each semester. The Teacher Preparation and Advising Office (TPAO) provides access to substitution and waiver forms as well as program sheets for all undergraduate majors. OTE also hosts brown bag sessions throughout the academic year on a variety of advising topics that may be of interest to faculty.
Academic Appeals
All students (undergraduate and graduate) have the right to appeal decisions related to academic matters (such as grading or removal from a course or program) as long as the appeal is limited to claims of prejudice, capriciousness, or error. Additionally, when students are charged with Academic Dishonesty, they have the right to an appeal and a hearing. Refer to the student appeals guidelines for information about the appeal and hearing procedures.
Faculty Senate
Pursuant to such Bylaws of the University Faculty, the Faculty Senate shall seek to determine and establish educational and academic policies which promote and protect the interests and welfare of the University community and further the full and free development and preservation of scholarly learning, teaching, and research
Staff Senate
Governed by UW Regulation 1-34, Staff Senate was established in 1977 and represents UW staff employees, including both exempt and nonexempt. Staff Senate works together with the Trustees, administration, faculty, and students for the betterment of the University of Wyoming. We encourage communication, advocate for staff development, and address staff concerns.
