Center for Advising
and Career Services

The Center for Advising and Career Services (CACS) provides a variety of services to UW students, including advising undecided students, A&S undeclared students, and National Exchange students; providing academic support to various populations of probationary, conditionally admitted, and reinstated students; assisting students campus-wide with their career exploration, planning, and job search needs; assisting in coordinating discussions, information dissemination, and event planning between the various professional advisors and advising offices on campus; and coordinating national tests and exams through the University Testing Center.

The center is committed to providing a comprehensive and integrated service that moves a student along a continuum of receiving academic advising, exploring academic and career options, selecting a college major, and finally, implementing their degree in the world of work.

Undeclared students and A&S students admitted with conditions, placed on probation, or reinstated to the university are highly encouraged to meet with a CACS Career Counselor. The purpose of this meeting is to analyze the student’s past academic progress and future career goals to develop a strategic plan to maximize their academic success and future employment opportunities. CACS also works closely with other campus offices and departments to engage students in available study skill and tutorial resources.

Students interested in engaging in career exploration activities may make an appointment to meet with a career counselor to discuss their career goals and/or confirm their choice of major. Various assessment tools that provide feedback on the match between a student’s interests or personality type and the world of work are available. CACS houses a career resource library, which contains information pertaining to a broad range of career fields, internship opportunities, specific employer information, and general job search strategies. These materials are available for check out.

Students are advised to use the eRecruiting link off the CACS homepage to find out about and apply for summer, internship, and permanent job opportunities. Each year numerous employer representatives from business, industry, health care, education, and government visit CACS to interview students for these types of opportunities. All information pertaining to these visits is contained in the eRecruiting link on the CACS homepage. Students need to register with CACS to obtain their username and password.

CACS hosts numerous general and specialized job fairs each year for students and alumni. Upcoming job fair dates can be found on the CACS homepage.

The University Testing Center coordinates national tests and exams and is housed on the third floor of the William Robertson Coe Library. Students may register to take national tests and professional school entrance exams. Information is available on the University Testing Center website www.uwyo.edu/UTC or by calling (307)766-2188.
