Registration Information

Continuing Students

Adding Classes

  1. Check for your Enrollment Appointment on Titan Web (Academics… Enrollment Appointment) or your STAR On-Line (Academics… View STAR On-Line in Titan Web) to find out the day and time of your course registration for the semester.
  2. It is recommended that you meet with your advisor prior to your registration date. Also, your STAR (degree audit) will give important information to help you plan your classes. STAR is available to all undergraduate students except specials and those working through the Center for New Learning.
  3. Check for Service Indicators (Holds/Stops) you must deal with before you can register, such as financial obligations or advising holds. Take the necessary action to have these holds removed from your record. Students should contact the department that placed the Service Indicator in order to clear their record.
  4. Check the Schedule of Classes on Titan Web to develop a list of classes that you want to take.
  5. Use Titan Web to register for all classes except those requiring assistance from the Registrar’s Office. Instructions are available on-line from “Help” on the Titan Web home page.
  6. Come to Registrar’s Office (Dempsey 130) if one or more of the following conditions are true and you need help enrolling for a class:
    • You are a NEW freshman;
    • You have a Service Indicator (hold/stop) that blocks registration such as one for the Assistance Program or Academic Probation.
    • A signature is required to enroll in a particular course:
      • The signature of the instructor is required for any course taken for AUDIT.
      • Registration for courses, which conflict in time, will be accepted only upon petition of the student and approval of the instructors involved.
      • Additional reasons for signatures vary but include departments needing to check prerequisites, control enrollment or give priority to certain students in the major, etc. If a specific course that you wish to add requires a signature, please check with the Registrar's Office, Dempsey 130, to determine the correct procedure for the specific class.
  7. Complete the Undergraduate Registration Form available in the Registrar’s Office (Dempsey 130) if registering for an entire schedule of classes in person, rather than through Titan Web.
  8. If you have already registered and wish to add a class that requires a signature, use an Add Card, also available in the Registrar’s Office (Dempsey 130).
  9. Turn in the completed Undergraduate Registration Form or the Add Card to the Registration Desk staff.

Leave of Absence (for Continuing Students)

An Academic Leave of Absence (LOA) is granted to students whose enrollment at UW Oshkosh is interrupted for one semester because of studies abroad or internships. Since these students are considered continuing, the LOA guarantees them an enrollment appointment date/time for registration of the next semester's classes, consistent with dates assigned "continuing" students. If academic or disciplinary suspension occurs prior to the effective date of the leave of absence, the leave of absence is automatically canceled.

Eligible students can complete an LOA application form online. The form should be submitted during the semester prior to the student's absence.

Dropping Classes

  1. Students should check for deadlines in the registration calendar before dropping classes. If the class is the student’s only class, see “Registration Calendar.”
  2. If a student wants to drop a class after these deadlines, she/he must complete a Request for Late Drop Form (available in the Registrar's Office in Dempsey 130). For the Colleges of Business, Education and Human Services, and Nursing, this form requires the signature of the appropriate Assistant Director Academic Advising. The Academic Affairs Officer must sign this form for the College of Letters and Science. Graduate students must have the form signed by the Program Coordinator and the Coordinator of Graduate Studies in the Graduate School.

Withdrawing from the University

  1. When students withdraw from the University by dropping all their classes, they must notify the Registrar's Office in one of the following ways:
    • Come to the Registrar's Office (Dempsey 130)
    • Call the Registrar's Office at 920-424-3454
    • Send an email from your campus email account to schettle@uwosh.edu or a letter to Registration Office, Attn: Withdrawal, 800 Algoma Blvd., Oshkosh, WI 54901. Include your name, student ID number and the term from which you are withdrawing.
  2. The deadlines for withdrawals vary for each term & session. See the Registration Calendar.
  3. After these deadlines, students seeking to withdraw must complete a Term Withdrawal Form, including Part II Appeal for Late Term Withdrawal. For the Colleges of Business, Education and Human Services, and Nursing, this form requires the signature of the appropriate Assistant Director Academic Advising. The Academic Affairs Officer must sign this form for the College of Letters and Science. Graduate students must have the form signed by the Program Coordinator and the Coordinator of Graduate Studies in the Graduate School.
  4. Students should consult the Fee/Refund Schedule for information about refunds and charges. Withdrawal does not remove the obligation for costs incurred by a student during the semester. Questions should be directed to Student Accounts, Dempsey 236, 920-424-1332.
