Meet Our Professional Advisers
Academic Support Team: Adviser + Faculty Mentor
At UWRF, every new student is assigned both a professional adviser and a faculty mentor.
- From 0–60 credits, your adviser is your main point of contact.
- After 60 credits (or when it makes sense for you), your faculty mentor becomes your primary guide.
- You can reach out to both anytime throughout your UWRF journey!
Note: In programs without professional advisers, your faculty member will serve as both adviser and mentor.
So, what's the difference?
Professional Advisers: Your go-to for overall academic planning.
- Course selection and degree planning.
- Registration and scheduling help.
- Declaring majors/minors and tracking progress.
- Connecting to campus resources (tutoring, wellness, career services).
Faculty Mentors: Experts in your field.
- Advice on major-specific courses.
- Insight into research, internships and grad school.
- Career guidance and networking in your discipline.
- Support with academic challenges in your major.
Academic Success Planning
Your adviser may suggest this tool for setting goals and implementing a plan to stay (or get) on track.
Academic Success Plans are required for students on academic probation or that have successfully appealed their academic or financial aid suspension. The Academic Success Plans must be completed before the end of the second week of the semester.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Degree Audit Report (DAR) and how do I use it?
A Degree Audit Report (DAR) provides a record of your academic progress toward completion of a specific degree program. It incorporates all your transfer coursework as well as your UW-River Falls coursework, including in-progress courses, to evaluate the completion of the requirements for your degree. Please review your DAR prior to each academic advising appointment.
What do I do if I did poorly in a course?
You may choose to repeat the course. There are many considerations when choosing to repeat. Consult your adviser if you have questions about if a repeat will benefit you.
Will my adviser stay the same throughout my time at UWRF?
No. After completing ~45 credits you will be transferred to a faculty adviser within your specific area of study.
How do I obtain my registration PIN each semester?
No. After completing ~45 credits you will be transferred to a faculty adviser within your specific area of study.
