Advisors meet with students by appointment at least twice a semester. All advisees who have not scheduled an appointment during Plan-It Purple are required to either Check-In to our center during the first week of the semester or propose the appointment via the Outlook Web Calendar.  During this Pre-Advise meeting a second, 30 minute Advise appointment will also be scheduled.  More information about the Advising Process is available on this website.

Need to schedule an appointment?

  • Stop by the Academic Advising & Exploration Center (Roseman 2054), OR
  • Call the Appointment hotline (262) 472-4646, OR 
  • Log on to the Outlook Web Access Calendar by opening https://post.uww.edu, entering your Net-ID username and password, and clicking Log On.

Step #6 – Enter your name and student ID number in the Subject line.

Step #7 – Enter your cell phone number here.  We use this number to call you the day before to remind you of your pre-advise meeting.  Only your advisor will be able to view your cell phone number.  Other students will not have this ability.

Step #8 – Enter the Start Time and End Time.  Enter the time and date as determined during Step #5.  Remember, the pre-advise meeting only needs to be 15 minutes long.

Step #9 – Leave this checked if you would like a reminder to pop-up some time before the appointment. You can select how much time in advance you want your reminder to pop-up, such as 15 minutes or 24-hours prior to.  Keep in mind that Outlook must be running for the reminder to open.

Step #10 - This is optional.  However, you can enter a message here if there are particular topics you’d like to bring to your advisor’s attention prior to the meeting. 

Step #11 - Once all is complete, press the Send button in the upper left hand.  Your advisor will review your request and either accept or decline the proposed pre-advise meeting.

Note: Plan ahead to schedule any additional advising appointments. Advising appointments can usually be obtained soon after the request is made; however, during peak times, appointments may take longer to schedule.
