The Advising Process
Know your Degree Requirements
Before advising, review your Program of Study and Degree Evaluation. Together, these resources help you understand the courses required for your degree and track your progress toward graduation. Bring any questions or discrepancies to your adviser. You are responsible for making sure your degree requirements are met.
DEGREE EVALUATIONBuild a Tentative Schedule
Use Plan Ahead under Registration in WyoRecords to build one or more tentative schedules for the upcoming term. Consider the courses you need to take and create a plan that works for you. Bring your tentative schedule to your advising appointment so you and your adviser can review it together.
Meet with your Advisor
Come to your advising appointment with your questions, degree information and tentative schedule ready to discuss. Your adviser can help you review your plan, make adjustments and make sure you're on track. During your appointment, you'll also receive your six-digit PERC, which you'll need to register for fall or spring courses.
Register for Classes
Once you've met with your adviser and received your PERC, you're ready to get set for registration. Use Prepare for Registration in WyoRecords to find your assigned registration date and time and clear any active holds. Look for all green check marks, then use your PERC to complete registration when your access opens. Summer registration does not require a PERC.
Advising throughout the Program
Pre-Clinical Component: Basic BSN students who are completing courses in the Pre-Clinical Component of the program have the expectation of scheduling an appointment with their academic adviser each semester during the scheduled advising week(s) noted. Students may also schedule additional advising appointments as needed at other times throughout the semester.
Clinical Component: Basic BSN students who are completing courses in the Clinical Component of the program will receive advising-related emails each semester around the scheduled UW advising week noted. If a need arises, individualized advising appointments may be scheduled.
Career Advising
All Basic BSN students are assigned a career adviser from the Basic BSN faculty. To find your current adviser, log in to WyoWeb and select Student Records > Academic Profile, making sure to choose the current term. Students should schedule at least one appointment each academic year, with additional meetings available as needed. Your career adviser can help you navigate the nursing curriculum, explore career opportunities, consider continuing your education and identify experiences that support SOAR competencies.
