Academic Advising
College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Expectations and
Responsibilities
The College of Science Technology, Engineering and Management (STEM) believes in and practices
developmental advising. This systematic advisement process is intended to aid students in achieving
educational, career and personal goals through their years at UW-Stout. Developmental advisement is a
collaborative process between the academic advisor and the student. While the ultimate decision regarding
career goals and educational plans rests with the student, the academic advisor is available to assist students by
providing information, resources, and help with assessing alternatives.
Advisor Expectations
Advisors may expect that the student:







Recognizes that he/she bears the ultimate responsibility for the development and implementation of their
academic plan of study, including meeting program and university graduation requirements.
Respects the program director’s/faculty advisor’s appointment or office hours and keeps or cancels
scheduled appointments.
Will prepare for advisor appointments by bringing all necessary material as required by the student’s
program director/faculty advisor.
Will keep his/her advisor informed when there are changes in academic plans or progress.
Will maintain up-to-date personal records of academic progress and will resolve discrepancies on
University reports, records, and documents.
Will regularly check his/her UW-Stout email for important information and updates.
Understand and abide by the policy on confidentiality of Student Records and the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
Student Expectations
Students may expect that program directors/faculty advisors:






Have knowledge of the program and University curriculum requirements and are able to provide accurate
information.
Are informed about University policies, procedures, support services, and resources.
Are available for consultation by having posted office hours or appointment times.
Have knowledge of career opportunities and appropriate graduate programs in their fields.
Will refer the student to specialized institutional and community resources when necessary.
Understand and abide by the policy on confidentiality of Student Records and the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA).
General Advising
First-year students are accepted into the Applied Science program with APSC standing. Students may determine
their concentration on their application to the university, or at any time during their academic career. The sooner
the student determines their concentration, the more effectively their advisement sessions will be. If the student’s
cumulative ACT score or ACT Math score are below 22, or their high school GPA is below 3.0, or they are not in
APSC Advising Handbook 1/2011
4
the top 40% of their high school graduating class, they will be accepted into the program as APSC.PRE. Students
can declare their concentration after a successful first year and will need to do this with the Academic Advising
office, room 11, Bowman Hall.
To get first-year students off on the right start, they are enrolled into the APSC block to enhance their academic
success.

English and Math Placement
All new Stout students without transfer credit for ENGL-101 and/or MATH-110 or higher will need to
complete the WI Placement Exams before class registration.
These placement tests can be taken at Stout or at other sites across Wisconsin. Click here
(http://testing.wisc.edu/placement%20tests.html) for additional information on the Regional Testing Program. For
detailed information on placement testing sites and dates, click here:
(http://www3.uwstout.edu/loader.cfm?csModule=security/getfile&PageID=373446).
Click here to view sample tests (http://testing.wisc.edu/contents%20of%20the%20placement%20tests.html).
Transfer students who do not have transfer credit for ENGL-090 or ENGL-101 and MATH-010/110 or higher, will
need to take the WI Placement Exam for English and/or mathematics.
APSC Advising Handbook 1/2011
5
Transfer students: Registration in any English and/or Mathematics courses the student might still require for their
major will depend upon credit earned in those subjects at their previous institution. The transfer equivalency
report the student receives from UW-Stout’s Admissions Office will indicate whether transfer credit has been
awarded in English (i.e., ENGL 101) and/or Mathematics (i.e., MATH 110). For more detailed information, refer to
http://www.uwstout.edu/admissions/transfer.shtml. Transcripts should be sent to UW-Stout (Office of Admissions;
UW-Stout; 124 Bowman Hall; Menomonie, WI 54751) or check online to see if the student has already done so
(on Access Stout, under Admission & Placement Test Results). If the student feels their ACT results would be out
of date or has never taken the ACT, they will then need to take the Wisconsin English and Mathematics
Placement Tests (EPT and MPT). See this website for test dates and registration instructions:
http://testing.wisc.edu/
YOUTH OPTIONS OR COLLEGE CREDIT WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL:
In addition, if the student took college credit in either Math or English (or any other subject area) while still in high
school, make sure an official transcript from the post-secondary institution granting the credit is mailed to the UWStout Admissions Office to be added to their official record.
Please mail any additional information to:
Office of Admissions; UW-Stout; 124 Bowman Hall; Menomonie, WI 54751.
Advising Resources
There are many advising resources available to students both from UW-Stout as well as the Applied Science
Program. The following list is intended to give students an idea of the types of resources available. It is not an
all-inclusive list as new resources are continually being developed.
Undergraduate Bulletin:
The undergraduate bulletin contains information about the University,
Admissions, Scholastic Standards, Financial Information, Student Affairs, Special
Programs, Major Programs of Study, Minors, Specializations, and Course
Descriptions. Available online at http://www.uwstout.edu/ugbulletin or from the
Advisement Center.
Student Handbook:
The student handbook contains information about Academics, Academic
Misconduct, Services for Students, Campus Organizations and Activities, Racist
and Discrimination Conduct, Student Rights and Responsibilities, Alcohol and
Other Drug Policies, Campus Police/Security, Conduct on University Lands, and
Affirmative Action. Available online at http://www.uwstout.edu/shb or from the
Advisement Center.
Curriculum Plan Sheet:
The curriculum plan sheets are available from the program directors or faculty
advisors. The program curricula in place at the time of the student’s first
semester of enrollment at UW-Stout are the requirements they need to fulfill to
complete their degree. If a program curriculum changes while a student is at
UW-Stout, they have the option to change to the new curriculum plan. The B.S.
in Applied Science curriculum plans for each concentration are available in the
B.S. in Applied Science Program section later in this handbook.
Curriculum Flow Chart:
In addition to the plan sheet, the B.S. in Applied Science program provides a
semester-by-semester flow chart to assist in planning the student’s program.
This flow chart also indicates the prerequisite structure within the B.S. in APSC
program. The B.S. in Applied Science curriculum flow charts for each
concentration are presented in the B.S. in Applied Science Program section later
in this handbook.
Suggested Four-Year Plan:
APSC Advising Handbook 1/2011
Another useful scheduling tool is the Suggested Four-Year Program Plan. This
program plan helps answer the question, “How can the student complete this
6
program in four years?” The program is presented in a semester-by-semester
sequence indicating credit load per semester. The B.S. in Applied Science
curriculum suggested 4-year program plans for each concentration are presented
in the B.S. in Applied Science Program section later in this handbook.
Program Website:
Access Stout:
The Applied Science Program maintains a program website at:
http://www.uwstout.edu/programs/bsas/. There is much information available
there as well as links to other useful Applied Science resources.
ACCESS STOUT is the query source that allows students and faculty access to
the ‘PeopleSoft Campus Solutions’ student administration software. A link to
ACCESS STOUT can be found on the homepage at http://www.uwstout.edu/.
The student can utilize this system to access Registration and Records to view
class schedules, unofficial transcripts, Academic Advisement Reports, GPA, and
add or drop a class. The student may also utilize this system to view any of their
personal financial information.
Academic Advisement Report:
The Academic Advisement Report is a report generated by the PeopleSoft
Campus Solutions student administration software and provides access to
course and non-course degree requirement information for individual students.
The report is organized into collapsible sections which contain subheadings that
categorize requirements. The Academic Advisement Report is available online
utilizing the ACCESS STOUT query system.
Advisement Day:
Advisement Day is an academic day of the semester. There are no classes
scheduled that day from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
1. All students are required to attend a group meeting with the B.S. in APSC
Program Director and faculty advisors. Important announcements and other
information are presented at these meetings. In addition, all program
requirements are reviewed for student clarity.
2. All students are required to meet with their advisor at a mutually convenient
time, preferably on Advisement Day. To prepare for this meeting, students
are expected to have a list of proposed courses, a mock schedule and their
Degree Progress Report as downloaded from AccessStout.
3. Prior to registration, an “Advisement Hold” will be placed on the
student’s records. This hold will prevent the student from registering
until it is confirmed that they attended the group meeting and have met
with their advisor. Failure to fulfill either of these requirements may
result in registration late in the cycle.
Guidelines for Advisement
of Transfer Students:
Career Advisement
Services:
APSC Advising Handbook 1/2011
Guidelines to assist with initial and follow-up advisement for transfer students
and to provide consistency in making exceptions (e.g., waivers, substitutions)
can be found at http://www3.uwstout.edu/provost/transege.cfm. Some of the
guidelines clarify how transfer courses are being treated currently and the
circumstances under which no exceptions are needed. Other sections explain
possible situations where exceptions may be considered. Because there is
considerable confusion regarding "associate degrees," all transfer advisors are
encouraged to read the section at the end of the guidelines that differentiates
between various types of "associate" degrees.
Individual career exploration for first year as well as upper class students is
through their First Year Advisor or career counselor, reachable by calling (715)
232-1465 to set up an appointment. Further information can be found at
http://www3.uwstout.edu/advisement/career.cfm. The Career Services office has
many resources for students, alumni, faculty/staff and parents/families at this link:
7
http://www.uwstout.edu/careers/index.shtml. Of particular use is the Stout
CareerLink, a resource covering everything from resume creation to on-campus
interviews for co-ops/internships as well as full-time employment. The Student
Stout CareerLink Tutorials can be found here:
http://www.uwstout.edu/careers/careerlink.shtml
Academic Dishonesty Defined
The Board of Regents, administrators, faculty, academic staff and students of the University of Wisconsin System
believe that academic honesty and integrity are fundamental to the mission of higher education and to the
University of Wisconsin System. The university has a responsibility to promote academic honesty and integrity
and to develop procedures to deal effectively with instances of academic dishonesty. Students are responsible for
the honest completion and representation of their work, for the appropriate citation of sources, and for respect of
others’ academic endeavors. Students who violate these standards must be confronted and must accept the
consequences of their actions.
Definitions of academic dishonesty as provided by the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators
include:




Cheating - The intentional use or attempted use of unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in
any academic exercise.
Plagiarism - The intentional use of or knowingly representing the words or ideas of another as your own in
any academic exercise.
Fabrication - The intentional and unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or citation in
any academic exercise.
Facilitating academic dishonesty - The intention, or knowingly helping or attempting to help another to
commit an act of academic dishonesty.
UW-Stout also considers academic dishonesty to include forgery of academic documents, or intentionally
impeding or damaging the academic work of others.
A student charged with violation of academic policy will have a fair hearing. Academic misconduct in the
University of Wisconsin System is defined by UWS Chapter 14.
Experiential Learning through Career Services
Applied Science students are required to complete an internship for graduation. Two course options are available
for students to gain professional experience: APSC-349 Co-op Experience in Applied Science or APSC-398
Field Experience in Applied Science. (APSC-349 represents that this course can be taken as APSC-149,
APSC-249, or APSC-349, depending on the level of independence and critical thinking that is required for the
position. For example, a student who is expected to design, conduct, an/or analyze a research project or create a
scholarly product would be registered at the 300 or 400 level. Co-ops at the 100 or 200 level, although excellent
opportunities for career development, should not be the highest level of co-op obtained prior to graduation. It is
recommended that students consider multiple cooperative experiences during their undergraduate education.)
Both of these courses can be taken for 3 - 6 months, either in the summer or during the academic year. The co-op
represents a paid experience and the student will be an employee of a company and work on meaningful projects.
The Field Experience is an alternative experience that may be completed on a volunteer basis. In both cases (the
Co-op and Field Experience), the student will be required to work a minimum of 320 hours, apply for credit, define
learning objectives, complete interim and final reports, and make a presentation.
To properly complete this activity for APSC-349, there is formal training through Career Services
(http://www.uwstout.edu/careers/index.shtml). Dr. Ann Parsons, Applied Science Co-op Coordinator, will do all
the training and paperwork if the student registers for APSC-398.
APSC Advising Handbook 1/2011
8
The professional experience is generally taken by the student for 1 - 6 credits between junior and senior year, but
may be taken at any time during his/her academic career. These courses are graded and will appear on the
student’s academic transcript. Full-time employment in a co-op position (APSC–349) allows the student to
maintain fulltime student status; please contact the Career Services office for more information.
Minors Available to Enhance B.S. in Applied Science
The B.S. in Applied Science Interdisciplinary Science option requires at least one minor that is not Biology,
Chemistry, or Physics, or a second major. The minor represents a value-added element to the student’s degree
and should be chosen to compliment their preferred career path. Students must work with both Program
Directors to meet requirements for each major and recognize that completion of two majors will exceed 120
credits.
There are numerous minors available to students here at UW-Stout. The following list includes some of the
minors that have been popular with Applied Science students during the past several years:


Business Administration Minor
Cognitive Neuroscience Minor


Quality Minor
Psychology Minor
To receive more information about these minors, contact the Advisement Center, locate the minor in the
Undergraduate Bulletin www.uwstout.edu/ugbulletin/ug_minors.html, go to the Programs web page
http://www.uwstout.edu/programs/minors.shtml, or contact the Minor Coordinator.
Scholarship Opportunities
The UW-Stout Foundation provides many scholarships, some of which are uniquely set up for the College of
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics students. The UW-Stout Foundation deadline is usually the
end of January for the upcoming academic year. Do not miss out on scholarship opportunities by starting the
application process too late. The student will most likely need to include with their application items such as
instructor or employer recommendations. Be sure to allow enough time (a few weeks minimum) for the student’s
recommendations to be written. Take advantage of these scholarships and apply. A student may apply for more
than one scholarship.

Graduation
Congratulations! Graduation is on the horizon! There are a few more things the student needs to do before
making that walk across the stage. To avoid any surprises, the student should meet with their academic advisor
at least one semester prior to their final semester to make sure they are on track for graduation. This will
entail a review of the student’s Academic Advisement Report to identify any course deficiencies and determine
how they will be resolved. Once this is complete the student will need to apply online for graduation
(http://www.uwstout.edu/commencement/index.shtml).
This is a mandatory step that signifies that the student has satisfied the completion of all course requirements for
a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Science from UW-Stout.
The university holds graduation ceremonies in December and May of each academic year, and while attendance
is not required, it is highly encouraged since it represents a major milestone in the student’s career and is the last
time they will see many classmates.
The following is a Graduation Check List to ensure all requirements are met.

