New Student Orientation at UW-Milwaukee

The L&S Registration Process

  • Advising at Registration is done in a group-advising format.
  • While you will not meet one-on-one with your advisor, you will have an opportunity to speak individually with an advisor as you complete the registration process.
  • Typically, there is about 1 advisor for every 10-15 L&S students attending
  • Make the most of the time you have to speak with an advisor. Come prepared for your Registration session!

For L&S students, Registration lasts about 3 hours and consists of two main components:

  • L&S College Meeting
    You will:
    • receive a detailed explanation of the L&S degree requirements (these are the requirements you need to complete in order to graduate)
    • review course options. Advisors will provide information and choices for you, but you decide which courses you will take.

  • Registration on PAWS. Advisors and current students will help you register for your classes in a computer lab after you have finished your course selection.
