Welcome to the University of Wisconsin-Platteville! The contents of this catalog describe programs and courses offered by UW-Platteville. The contents include information related to course offerings, tuition and fees, financial aid, scholarships, housing and much more.
You may obtain the standard UW System Application for Admission form from your high school counselor (if you attend a Wisconsin high school). You may also contact the UW System HELP office by calling 1-800-442-6459, or you may contact the UW-Platteville Office of Admission and Enrollment Services. We strongly encourage you to apply electronically. Please see the UW-Platteville home page at http://www.uwplatt.edu/admission/apply.html for specific instructions. In the catalog’s Admission section, you will find more detailed information about admission categories, dates and requirements.
Visiting campus is the best way to experience UWP and find out what the campus, faculty, staff and students have to offer! Group and individual campus visits are available by appointment through the Prospective Student Services office weekdays throughout the school year and Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays throughout the summer. Our visit program provides you with an opportunity to talk with staff from Prospective Student Services, learn more about UWP and take a campus tour. Let us know what academic area you are interested in and if you are planning to be involved in athletics and/or any student organizations and clubs, and we can personalize a visit just for you! Pioneer Preview Open Houses are our eight scheduled group visits and offer a wide range of activities for students and families, including a student services fair, campus tour, lunch and a faculty meeting.
The UW-Platteville catalog represents the most accurate reflection of curricula and policies available up to the time of printing. All students entering the university follow the guidelines and academic requirements espoused by this document, unless they are interrupted by time away from the institution. Students whose attendance is interrupted for at least one semester may be expected to meet the curricular requirements in effect at the time of their return.
Students follow the requirements of the catalog in effect at the point of admission. Students transferring from another UW institution follow the guidelines in effect at the point of admission to the UW System. This practice could be affected by a variety of situations, such as collegiate or departmental curricular changes, absence for several semesters or terms and other circumstances. Students must decide to choose between the requirements of one catalog or another; they may not choose to combine catalogs.
Individual departments make announcements concerning changes in degree requirements. Students should remain in contact with their advisors to keep informed about their degree requirements and any possible changes that should occur.
Catalogs are issued to new students when they register for courses. Your catalog should be kept readily available throughout your academic career. The contents of the catalog can also be found on the UWP home page.
As a reminder, this bulletin is not a contract, but represents announcements of general information, general academic regulations and the university’s academic programs extant at the date of publication. Questions concerning the catalog may be directed to your advisor, departmental offices or the Registrar’s Office.
