Academic Advising

Students in select majors will receive individual guidance from our academic advisors in course selection, major exploration and degree planning.  Our staff also serve students who are in transition from one major to another or those who would like additional assistance in developing a degree plan. Our Academic Advisors are also Academic Success Coaches who assist students in their overall experience, helping them to succeed while at UW-Platteville.

Academic Success Coaching

An academic success coach can help students examine their academic concerns or perceived barriers to success.  The coach provides guidance in areas like time management, procrastination, test preparation, study strategies and goal setting.  Working with each student’s individual needs, the coach helps to develop a plan of action for academic success.  This service is available for students at any stage in their academic career, from first semester through graduation.

Support for Students in Transition

Student transitions, such as the first year of college, a change of major, a transfer experience, academic recovery, or re-entry to the university, are pivotal moments that require dedicated resources and support.  Academic Support Programs facilitates the New Student Experience and provides individualized success teams comprised of academic advisors, academic success coaches and peer mentors to help students thrive.

Academic Intervention

Academic intervention provides a timely opportunity to resolve academic issues that may affect a student’s success. The Retention Team regularly reaches out to students with reminders or connections to learning resources. The Early Alert system allows instructors to identify students who are presenting patterns that may lead to academic difficulty in their courses. Our office collaborates with other campus resources/professionals to provide proactive assistance to students and help them succeed in all areas.

Navigate

Our university utilizes Navigate Staff, a student success platform designed to help all students reach their full potential through faculty and staff support. In addition to helping advisors with communication and record keeping, Navigate Staff is used by faculty to record academic alerts, which direct students to free resources such as academic success coaching, tutoring, or writing help, so that students can do their best work.

Students are encouraged to take advantage of the many opportunities offered by UW-Platteville to promote academic success, including Navigate Student, a mobile tool to help students remain engaged, proactive, and organized.

The following programs have centers located on the 1st floor of Karrmann Library.

Tutoring Services

Tutoring Services provides individual and drop-in tutoring in a variety of courses. Tutoring provides an opportunity for students to engage in collaborative learning conversations that will clarify course material, increase retention of critical concepts, improve study habits and assist in achieving academic goals.

Writing Center

The Writing Center offers individual sessions with experienced fellow writers trained to consult on classroom assignments and other writing-related projects. Students can receive support and feedback at any stage in the writing process and for courses in any discipline. Writing Center assistance is available in-person or virtually.

Peer Mentor Program

The Peer Mentor Program connects first, second, and transfer year students (mentees) with an upper-level student (mentor) to assist with the transition to UW-Platteville. Peer mentors serve as knowledgeable guides, role models, facilitators, advocates, resources, and friends to aid in the acclimation to life in college by sharing personal knowledge and lived experiences. Mentors address academic, social, extracurricular, and professional topics with their mentees while building a meaningful peer relationship.

Testing Center

The Testing Center offers accommodation for students requiring alternatives to classroom testing and students who need to make up or retake an exam.  Students should consult with their instructors and/or the Disability Access Center to see if this service fits their needs.

Living on campus at UW-Platteville provices students with special opportunities for growth, learning, fun and friendship. In addition, our branch campus (Baraboo Sauk County) offers residence hall living.

Residence hall living is an integral part of the college experience. Student life at UW-Platteville strives to create an environment that supports individual choice, develops a sense of community and emphasizes individual and group responsibility. Each hall is a community of approximately 240-600 residents, with a total residence hall population of approximately 3,000 students. Halls are conveniently located, computer networked with wireless internet, equipped with streaming television, and well maintained. Full-time, professional resident directors supervise the student resident assistants who reside on each wing or floor. Staff members in each building are carefully selected, specially trained and willing to help students have a successful campus living experience.

UW-Platteville’s main campus offers themed housing opportunities in affinity housing, living learning communities, (LLC’s) and interest communities (IC’s) as opportunities for students to combine their academic and co-curricular college experience. Information related to LLC’s and IC’s is available on our website https://www.uwplatt.edu/department/residence-life.

A unifying link within the residence hall community is the Residence Hall Association. Students elected to serve as representatives of this governance body promote an interest in and understanding of the campus environment and serve as a general forum for improving residence hall life.

UW-Platteville’s main campus has an on-campus residence hall requirement that derives from a University of Wisconsin Board of Regents policy that requires freshmen and sophomore students to live in university residence halls during the academic year, unless they qualify for an exception and are officially released by the Department of Residence Life. After being admitted to the university, students receive housing information which includes a link to descriptions for residence halls and information explaining the procedure to request an exception to the on-campus residency requirement. This residency requirement is enforced, and students must provide the information necessary to confirm their compliance with it. Please direct any questions to the Department of Residence Life. Students can sign up for room reservations by clicking on the Housing/Meals tab in their PASS account.
