Frequently Asked Questions

How can I find my advisor?

To locate your advisor's name, log in to the Stellic portal and check the "Track Progress" or profile section, usually located on the left-hand side or under your personal information. Advisor names are often displayed directly on the dashboard, alongside their contact information. If you have not been assigned an advisor, contact the appropriate advising or departmental office:

  • Students with fewer than 24 units and Undeclared undergraduates: contact the Academic Advising & Exploration Center
  • Students with 24 or more units who have declared majors in College of Arts & Communications and College of Letters and Sciences - contact the department of your major.
  • Students with 24 or more units who have a declared major in the College of Education and Professional Studies - contact the COEPS Academic Advising office. (Secondary Education and Special Education majors will have a Faculty Advisor assigned once they exceed 24 credits.)
  • Students with 24 or more units who have a declared major in the College of Business and Economics - contact the CoBE Advising and Career Services office

How do I find a degree audit?

To find your degree audit in Stellic, log in to Stellic with your university credentials and navigate to the "Track" or "Track Progress" tab. This section provides a comprehensive overview of your completed, in-progress, and remaining requirements. 

How do I change a major or minor?

First-year students with fewer than 24 units

  1. Talk with an AAEC advisor.
    • The advisor can help students explore different major requirements and evaluate how current or completed college credits will apply to different majors.
  2. Once you have reached a decision, your academic advisor will discuss with you specific instructions needed to change your major.
  3. Check your "Track Progress" degree audit on Stellic to verify that updates were made (allow several days).

    Students with more than 24 units who have a declared major

    1. Complete the online form 
      Undergraduate Degree / Major / Minor / Certificate Change
      .
      • Some departments may have GPA restrictions for declaring a major.
    2. Check your "Track Progress" degree audit on Stellic to verify that updates were made (allow several days).

    When can I register?

    To find your enrollment appointment/registration start time, you can either log-in to WINS and check the "Classes and Schedules" tile > "Enrollment Dates" or on Stellic a "Registration Open" banner will appear on your homepage.

    What is a registration hold?

    A registration hold is any restriction that prevents registration. Many students will have a registration hold for advising and must meet with their academic advisor before registering.

    However, there are many holds that could prevent registration: financial holds, the Pre-Enrollment Checklist hold or holds from Admissions for documentation.

    You should check WINS in your Tasks area to be certain that you have cleared all holds for registration.

    What is the "satisfactory/no credit" option

    You may choose to take up to 15 credits for S/NC. A grade of "S" indicates a "C" or better in the class. You will receive a grade of "NC" (no credit) if the work is equivalent to a "C-" or lower. In neither case will your grade affect your GPA. You should review the Satisfactory/No Credit policy and consult with an academic advisor before selecting.

    What happens if I am placed on probation or am academically dismissed?

    Students who are on probation or dismissed should review campus policies and deadlines at the Academic Standards website. Questions or appeals should be directed to acadstand@uww.edu.

    Students should also work with their academic advisor to understand ways of improving their academic progress.
