The University expects that email communications will be received and read by students in a timely fashion and recommends checking this account at least twice per week.

Approximately two days after we receive your completed form mentioned above in Step 1, your UW Oshkosh email account will be active and ready for use.  You can verify that your account has been created by searching for your name in the online directory: www.uwosh.edu/directory.  If you can find your name, you should have a functional UWO email, ready for use.

Set Up Your Multi-Factor Authentication

Multi-Factor Authentication is two-step verification process that each UWO student must use when accessing their Outlook email account. This authentication process is to better secure your email, especially when accessing sensitive information. Because passwords can be forgotten, stolen, or compromised, this additional security step helps to make your account more difficult for others to access.

Please do this IMMEDIATELY after you receive your UW Oshkosh email information. The UW Oshkosh IT Department has step-by-step instructions as to how to set this up on their website here.

We strongly suggest you request an academic advising appointment as soon as possible. 

Please complete the following electronic form to request an advising appointment for OSHKOSH Campus students only: https://forms.office.com/r/S9EXsWt6LA.

For Fond du Lac & Fox Campus Students please refer to your Admissions letter for additional information regarding Advising.

If the major listed on your application is no longer accurate, select the correct Intended Major as part of the Transfer Advising Appointment Request Form. You are only able to request an appointment using this online form.

At this time, you do not have an assigned advisor. An advisor will be assigned after you have completed your advising appointment. Advisors can explain college/degree/major requirements, help you interpret your transfer credit evaluation, and assist with course selection for your first semester at UWO.

An advising appointment is required for all transfer students. All transfer credits will be reviewed and applied to the student’s record by the Registrar’s Office prior to the appointment. It is preferred for students to come to campus to meet with an advisor, however, we recognize traveling to campus is not always an option. Phone appointments or video chat appointments are available upon request.

An email will be sent to the account listed on your application, as well as your UWO email account, inviting you to Transfer Titan Takeoff, our orientation program for new transfer students. Register as soon as possible to select a date that works with your schedule. This event will be half a day. Attending orientation is mandatory for all new transfer students in order to meet other new transfer students, connect with student resources, and ensure you are prepared for the first day of classes. Be sure to check your UWO email account regularly for up-to-date information. Advising and registration will not be included in this day, see Step 5.

All new transfer students will be charged a $150 orientation fee as well as a $20 fee. This fee will be charged to all students that attend UW Oshkosh even if they do not choose to attend Transfer Titan Takeoff.

For more information and to register for your Transfer Titan Takeoff, visit uwosh.edu/newstudents/transfer-titan-takeoff/.

File the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) at studentaid.gov as soon as possible after October 1 to be considered for financial aid. The UWO school code is 003920. The priority filing date at UWO is January 1 for the following academic year.

UWO students receive an enrollment date for each term. Students are not able to enroll for a given semester until their enrollment date. Students are assigned an enrollment date based on the number of earned transferable credits. Students can find their enrollment appointment listed in their TitanWeb account under Enrollment Dates on the right hand side.  Be sure to click on the “Details” link to see your enrollment date.

If you are able to register for your courses prior to your scheduled advising appointment, it is recommended that you sign up for courses and then finalize your course selections with your advisor during your appointment. 

If you register for classes without meeting with an advisor, it is still in your best interest to follow up with an advisor to confirm that your selected courses are going to help you achieve your desired educational path and meet specified requirements.

For further instruction on how to register for your courses, please refer to the TitanWeb Help for Students page created by the Registrar’s Office. If you are unable to find the help you need on this page, please call the Registrar’s Office at (920) 424-3454.

The Wisconsin Board of Regents’ Housing Policy states that all students MUST live on campus unless they meet one of the following requirements:

• Earned at least 48 credits by the first day of classes.
• Lived on campus for four semesters (includes previous schools).
• Will be 21 years old by the first day of class.
• Commuting from a parent or legal guardian’s permanent home located within 45 miles of UW Oshkosh.

On Campus Living

If you will be living on campus, you can apply for housing online. Please be aware that you must have already secured your spot in the incoming class (step one) in order to begin your housing process. Visit the Residence Life website for more information.

If you have completed a transferable college level math and English composition course, you do not need to take a placement test. Step 10 will explain how to review your Transfer Credit Evaluation, which tells you if you have a transferable math and English course.

However, if you have not completed a transferable college level course in each subject, you must take a placement test. The majority of transfer students do not need a placement test, but if you are unsure, please contact the Office of Admissions at admissions@uwosh.edu or (920) 424-3164.

For placement test dates and availability, please see https://uwosh.edu/testing/placement-testing/.

Visit Titan Central, located on the first floor of Reeve Union. Bring with you a valid form of ID, such as a driver’s license or passport, as well as your student ID number. There is a $20 fee for your TitanCard, which can be paid that day or billed to your student account. Students often pick up their TitanCard on the day of their advising appointment or during Transfer Orientation.

If you haven’t already completed a formal tour of campus, we highly recommend you take one! The Admissions Office offers a variety of tour options. Sign up for a tour here.

Purchase a commuter parking permit here. Commuter student parking is guaranteed. If you’re living in the residence halls, you will be sent a parking permit application from the Parking Services Office prior to the start of the semester. Students living on campus are not guaranteed a parking permit.

Most transfer students are enrolled in coursework at the time of admission and are admitted on a conditional basis. Send a final transcript to the Admissions Office once all final grades and degrees are posted. Many colleges and universities do not post degrees until a month or two after the end of the semester, so please ensure your expected degree is posted before sending your final transcript. Students will not be permitted to enroll for future semesters if a final transcript is not received.

If you took any AP or IB tests during high school, or received military credit, you may be eligible for college credit. Click here to view the AP and IB Credit Charts. Students should have all official score reports and military transcripts sent to the Admissions Office.

AP Scores can be requested at https://www.collegeboard.org/.

UWO’s institution code is 1916.
