Student Information

Academic Integrity
The University of Wyoming is built on a strong foundation of integrity, respect, and trust. All members of the university community have a responsibility to our community and the right to expect honesty from others. Any form of academic dishonesty is unacceptable to our community and will not be tolerated. Please report instances of academic dishonesty to your instructors. If you have any other questions, please contact the UW Regional Center in your area or call Outreach Credit Programs toll free at 1-800-448-7801. You may also view the university regulation regarding academic dishonesty at www.uwyo.edu/legal/uniregs/ur802.htm.

Coursework and class attendance
Class attendance is important to your success as a student. However, if you must miss class it is your responsibility to talk with your instructor and make arrangements for making up assignments and/or missed work. Outreach Credit Programs does not provide audio/videotapes of classes to students if they miss class.

For some audio and video courses, students are responsible for mailing course assignments and take-home examinations directly to their instructors. In case of loss or damage in the mail, students should always keep copies of assignments.

curriculum advising and program planning
Curriculum Advising and Program Planning (CAPP) is a computerized progress report/advising support system which evaluates UW completed coursework as well as transfer courses. This report is readily available to you through your WyoWeb account.

drop/withdrawal
Students are responsible for making any adjustments to their registration in accordance with the class schedule. Students may “drop” a course offered through Outreach Credit Programs before it begins, after attending only the first class session, or during the official drop period, whichever occurs last. No evidence of the “dropped” course will appear on the student’s official transcript. Withdrawals will appear on the students’ official transcript and will be subject to varying refunds based on the class time elapsed. Non-attendance does not constitute withdrawal from a course.

W number
For several years, University of Wyoming students have been identified by their Social Security Number. There has always been a need to identify students uniquely so that they can be correctly associated with their information and data contained within the various administrative systems on campus. For security reasons, UW has decided to abandon the use of Social Security Numbers as an identifier. Instead, all students, staff and faculty have been assigned a new unique identifier in the new Banner student information system. This is an eight digit number preceded by a W.

Students may find their W number in WyoWeb. Under the Student Resources, the Banner Self-Service channel contains a number of links. Several of these links render pages which contain the student’s W number. For example, by opening the Student and Financial Aid link, then following the link to Student Records and then View Student Information, will bring up a page containing, among other things, the student’s name and W number. The W number is positioned on the right side of the page near the top, to the left of the student’s name.
