WHEN DO I REGISTER FOR CLASSES?
Priority registration, the period when current UWGB and new transfer students
register, starts in early November (spring registration) and early April (fall registration).
During this time, enrollment appointments are based on the number of credits you
have earned. To find this date:
-
Log on to your Student Information System
(SIS) account - your username and password were sent with your acceptance packet.
-
You will find your "Enrollment Date" on the right side of your Student Center screen.
This is the first day you will be able to log on to register for classes. Click on
"details" to find information on registration time. It is important to register
as soon as possible.
HOW DO MY CREDITS TRANSFER?
You will receive an official credit evaluation via your UWGB email account. This shows how your courses
transfer, as well as how they will satisfy UWGB’s General Education Requirements.
If you have not received this evaluation, check in your SIS account:
- Log on to your SIS account (see directions above).
- On your Student Center page, click on the "Transfer Credit" tab.
- Click on "Detail" for each institution to see how your credits have transferred to
UWGB.
FYI: Credit evaluations are done on a first-come, first-served basis. If
you do not have a credit evaluation completed by your registration appointment, contact
Russ Leary (920-465-5020 or learyr@uwgb.edu) for assistance.
WHICH COURSES SHOULD I TAKE?
When deciding which courses to enroll in, start by considering the following questions:
A. Have you fulfilled the basic English
and math competency?
- If you received your credit evaluation, please review the Transfer
Student General Education Summary. Your math/English competency is assessed on this sheet.
- All students must satisfy the English competency requirement by completing Eng Comp 100 or 105
(or an equivalent transfer course) or by a minimum score of 25 on the English portion of the ACT test.
- All students must satisfy the math competency requirement by completing UWGB’s Math 094 or higher
(or an equivalent transfer course) or a sufficient Wisconsin Math Placement Test (WMPT) score.
B. Do you need to fulfill any General
Education Requirements?
- If you received your credit evaluation, the Transfer Student General Education Summary will tell you which
general education requirements you still need to satisfy. Any blank lines are unmet requirements. If
you have a question about why a requirement is not satisfied, please
ask!
- Use your Degree Progress Report
- Log on to your SIS account.
- On your Student Center page, under "Academics" click on the link for "Degree Progress".
- In the "Report Type" field, select "Transcript & Full Advising Rpt".
- When using this report, look for any of the requirements that are in bold print. These
are the requirements that you still need to fulfill.
C. What do I need to take for my major/minor?
- You will find the requirements for each major and minor in the Undergraduate Catalog. You can view the
catalog online at www.uwgb.edu/catalog/undrgrad.
- If you have a transfer course that you believe should count towards the major, but is transferring in as
an elective course, you will need to contact the chair of the department. Be prepared to provide a course
description and/or syllabus to the department chairperson. You can find a list of department chairs at
www.uwgb.edu/advising/directory.
D. Be aware of UWGB’s Interdisciplinary requirement.
- All students must complete an interdisciplinary major or minor. If you choose a disciplinary major, you
must also complete a major or minor listed under interdisciplinary. Please refer to
www.uwgb.edu/catalog/undrgrad/planning.htm for a list of majors/minors and more information about
planning an academic program.

Use the following search tools to find which courses are offered and their availability.
A. Schedule of Classes

HOW DO I REGISTER?
Registration is completed through the Student Information System (SIS). You will log on
to SIS with the Username and Password sent in your acceptance packet. Please refer to
the instructions at www.uwgb.edu/sis under "Help"
for detailed information on how to complete
the process. It’s a good idea to have your schedule of classes organized before starting
