Orientation & Registration

At UW-Platteville, we strive to make the transition to college as seamless as possible. During your orientation, we will introduce you to all the tools, knowledge, and support you’ll need for the semesters ahead.

Advising and Registration

Students will receive an email from an academic advisor inviting them to schedule a virtual academic advising appointment to register for classes. These emails will be sent at different times depending on a student’s campus and admit type, as well as when the student accepts their admission and completes the New Student Experience module in PASS.

Students will receive information about how to log into their UW-Platteville email account sometime after completing their New Student Experience module in PASS. After accessing that account for the first time, students should check that email account regularly for important information regarding their advising appointment, placement tests, and more.

All students will receive information about degree planning, general education, and requirements specific to their major prior to registering for classes. Students will receive assistance from academic advisors and faculty in their major.

Orientation Information

We look forward to welcoming you and up to two guests to participate in our exciting on-campus orientation program. Each orientation session is a half-day event.
