New Grading Scale Begins Fall 2009
Beginning this semester, the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh will begin using a new grading scale. This change will not affect grades awarded prior to Fall 2009. Point values in the new scale will be related to the assigned grades as shown below:
W Grades are Back for Classes Dropped After Drop DeadlinesDue to a technical issue, the Withdrawal (W) grade was removed from the official transcript. With new technologies and our recent upgrade to a new version of Titan Web, we are now able to reinstate the W grade for students who withdraw from a course after the drop deadline. The W grade is not a punitive grade and will not impact the GPA. It is used to more accurately describes a student’s attendance at UW Oshkosh.
Spring 2010 Registration Begins October 5
Registration for Spring 2010 classes will begin via Titan Web on Monday, October 5. Undergraduate students (other than Special students) should check their STAR or their Student Center in Titan Web beginning September 28th for the exact date and time that they may begin to register. Graduate student (including Graduate Special student) registration begins at 8:00 a.m. on October 5. Several graduate programs have set specific dates and times for their students that differ from this date. To be certain of the time when they can first enroll, graduate students should check their Student Center in Titan Web beginning on September 28. Undergraduate Special students can first register on January 11, 2010.
Reminders from the Registrar
Requirements for Graduation Honors
Starting with students graduating at the end of the Fall 2010 semester, students must have earned at least 60 credits at UW Oshkosh to be eligible for graduation honors in addition to meeting GPA requirements (cum laude-3.5 GPA, sigma cum laude-3.75 or magna cum laude-3.90).Keep Your Address, Phone Number and Emergency Contact Information Current
Have you recently moved? If so, please update your address. You can update your local address via TitanWeb. To update your home address, complete a Change of Address Form and send or take it to the Registrar's Office, Dempsey 130. If your home address and local address are the same, you do not need to add a local address. Since students now receive their Statement of Account on-line, we will be removing the billing address selection from the address drop-down.
You can also add or update a phone number via TitanWeb. Please include your "mobile" number if you wish the persons to be able to contact you via your cell phone.
