Meet with an advisor and make a plan

Radio TV Film Faculty Advisors are here to support your success in college, to help you determine future goals, and to develop a path to professional success (no matter what you decide to do after you graduate!). Students should meet with their RTF Advisor each semester to ensure they are meeting all department and university requirements in a timely fashion.  

Not sure who your advisor is?

  • Follow these directions to find out!
  • If you do not have an RTF Faculty Advisor, or need to speak with one, contact the Radio TV Film office at rtf@uwosh.edu or (920) 424-3131. 

Is a course you want to take already full?  See the RTF wait-list policy for your next step.

Declaring Radio TV Film as Your Major of Minor

If you are interested in becoming a Radio TV Film major or minor, but don’t know if this is the right path for you, please contact us at rtf@uwosh.edu. We can set up a meeting with a faculty member and a tour of the facilities to help you decide.  

Once you have decided on Radio TV Film as a major or minor, you will need to contact UARC to declare your decision by calling (920) 424-1268 or stopping by the Student Success Center – Suite 202, and a PAL will assist you.

 

Choosing a Complementary Minor or Certificates

RTF majors are required to complete a minor OR two certificates in other areas of study. Alternatively, students may complete a second major. Once you have decided on a minor or two certificates, you will need to contact UARC to declare your decision by calling (920) 424-1268 or stopping by the Student Success Center – Suite 202, and a PAL will assist you.

Do I Need to Take Science or Foreign Language Classes?
This information only applies to students who started at UWO before Fall 2024

Students completing a BA need to complete four semesters of a foreign language or a complete four semester equivalency (so if you take the placement exam and test into second semester Spanish, you get credit for first semester Spanish and then need to take three more semesters of Spanish). BA students need to complete two lab science courses.  

Students completing a BS don’t have a foreign language requirement, but they have to complete four lab science courses (including two as part of USP) and a second math class. Use this list for more information on Lab Science pairings.  Be sure to talk to your advisor to make sure the science courses your choose will meet the university requirements.

Preparing to Meet with Your Advisor
Before your meeting with your faculty advisor be sure to do the following: 

  1. Review your advisement report (see this video for instructions!)
  2. Know what your remaining degree requirements are 
  3. Review the next semester’s RTF course offerings
