Further your education with college credit
A "non-degree seeking student" can be many different people and situations. You fall into this group if you are a working professional seeking a certificate to get a leg up in your field; a high school student who wants to get ahead by taking a college-level course; or anyone who wants to benefit from the unique courses we offer at UW-Platteville but does not intend to pursue a full degree.
Special Students
Students who have already graduated from high school and wish to further their education but are not immediately seeking a degree from UW-Platteville are considered special students.
