Student Advising: Step by Step
Declaring the Certificate
Students will need help in thinking through how the Global Scholar Certificate fits into major(s) and their plans for graduation and beyond.
Students may need assistance declaring the Global Scholar Certificate. Once they have declared the Certificate, just as they would a minor or major, it will show up in Navigate among their majors and minors and in their Advisement Report, where you will be able to see which requirements they have completed and which they still need to complete.
The GS option is tracked on the student’s STAR and in SSC. You will be able to see which requirements they have completed and which they still need to complete. You may want to print and help them fill out this Global Scholar Planning Sheet when you meet with them for advising.
Completing the requirements
The Global Scholar Certificate is 12 credits, broken down as follows:
|
3cr. Global Citizenship (GC) (100/200 level) (USP Global Citizenship Requirement) + 9 cr. Global Scholar (GS) courses (300/400 level)
+ Submission of an ePortfolio presentation and reflection on a Global Experience
|
Supporting Students
Students will need significant advising with respect to identifying, finding, and enrolling in a Global Experience. To meet the Global Scholar distinction requirements, students must document and reflect on this experience and their global learning at UWO in an ePresentation. They will need to work with YOU, their faculty advisor to plan for the ePresentation. The final product is provided to the Global Scholar Council. As a faculty advisor/mentor of the ePresentation, you should communicate with Council (globalscholar@uwosh.edu) early and often to address any questions you might have and document that they have completed this requirement.
Please see Global Experience for Instructors tab and the ePresentation for Instructors tab for more information on advising students.
