HISTORY The University of Wisconsin-Parkside was created by an act of the Wisconsin Legislature in 1965 and officially founded in July 1968 when the two-year UW centers in Racine and Kenosha were merged. UW-Parkside broke ground for the new campus in November 1967, and accepted its first on-site students in fall 1969. UW-Parkside became part of the University of Wisconsin System in 1971, when the University of Wisconsin and the Wisconsin State Universities merged. With 26 campuses around the state, the UW System is known around the world for educational excellence. POINT OF PRIDE | UW-Parkside is the most culturally diverse university in the UW System.
THE CAMPUS Parkside is a striking complex of buildings inter-connected by an indoor walkway. The buildings, constructed between 1967 and 1976 at a cost of more than $40 million, occupy a small portion of the 700+ acre campus. Designed by Hellmuth, Obata Kassabaum of St. Louis in the late 1960s, the beautiful, low-profile design helps the campus complex blend in well with its natural surroundings. POINT OF PRIDE | The campus has hundreds of acres of restored prairies, mature oak and maple forests, and a meandering river in Racine and Kenosha counties.
RANGER ATHLETICS As the only NCAA Division II member in the state of Wisconsin, we strive to live the “Life in the Balance” philosophy by promoting academic excellence, athletic success, and community engagement to ensure personal growth and development. We foster an environment that is inclusive and sensitive to the needs of a diverse and multicultural population in order to retain and graduate our student-athletes. POINT OF PRIDE | Our cross country course winds through the surrounding natural areas, and hosts nationally recognized running events each year.

WHAT IMPACTS FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY FAFSA You must file a FAFSA EVERY YEAR to maintain Financial Aid. The application is available October 1st starting in 2016 and going forward every year.
ENROLLMENT LEVEL inancial aid is based on attending FULL TIME (12 or more credit hours). If you are F attending less than full time, your aid may decrease.
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS (SAP) o qualify for financial aid, you must be making academic progress towards your T degree. This is called Satisfactory Academic Progress (or SAP). There are three main standards of financial aid SAP. Failure to meet ONE or MORE of these standings may cause a loss of continued financial aid eligibility. SAP STANDARDS ⊲ ⊲ ⊲
GPA-2.0 or above per semester Pace-complete 67% or more of all courses attempted Time frame-complete your academic program within 150% of the allowed time frame.
REPEATING COURSES inancial aid is limited for repeating courses. If you decide to repeat a course you F have previously taken, it is in your best interest to talk to the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. There may be an impact on your Financial Aid eligibility.
WITHDRAWING I f you drop all of your courses in any semester, your financial aid for that semester will be re-calculated based on how long you attended. You may owe a balance for financial aid received, and this could potentially cause a reduction in your Financial Aid eligibility going forward. I f you stop attending your classes at any point of a semester, but fail to drop the courses, you will be considered an “unofficial withdraw” for the semester. As with above, your financial aid would be required to be recalculated, you may end up owing a balance due to this change in financial aid eligibility, and could have reduced eligibility going forward. I t is always in your best interest to contact the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid BEFORE you make any changes to your schedule to determine impact on your eligibility.
AGGREGATE LIMITS here are LIMITS to financial aid, and if you use aid up to those limits, there may not T be any additional aid available to you.

DARS WHAT IS DARS? DARS is an acronym for a program called the Degree Audit Reporting System. DARS produces a report reflecting academic progress toward completion of an undergraduate degree in a declared or proposed major according to the catalog year in which the student entered the program. The Degree Audit Report is an internal document. It should be used as a tool to assist students, advisors, and the Graduation Services Coordinator in planning future coursework. It is not an official certification of a student’s academic record.
HOW DOES DARS WORK? DARS ‘reads’ all courses completed or accepted in transfer at Parkside and shows how those courses have been applied toward a declared program(s) according to the catalog requirements for the year in which the student entered Parkside.
HOW DO I FIND MY DARS REPORT? It all starts on the Current Student page. www.uwp.edu/currentstudent Log into SOLAR to find your DARS report.
PLACEMENT TESTING Placement is generally determined by ACT or SAT sub-scores in English and mathematics. Students, however, may elect to take a Wisconsin Placement Test, WPT. International students, students exempt from the ACT admissions requirement and some transfer students are required to take placement test(s).

GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Students need at least 120 credits to graduate. Your 120 credits will be divided up among general education courses, the skills requirement, major courses, and minor, certificate or elective courses. Depending on your program of study, you may graduate with more than 120 credits.
SKILLS REQUIREMENT
There are several categories that make up the skills requirements that students must complete in order to graduate.
WRITING SKILLS
Students satisfy this requirement with completion of English 101 or 3 credits with a grade C- or better.
COMPUTATIONAL SKILLS
Students satisfy the computational skills requirement with completion of an introductory course in algebra or a survey of mathematics course (either Math 111 for 4 credits or Math 102 for 3 credits) with a grade C- or better.
FOREIGN LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT
Completing two semesters of the same foreign language satisfies this requirement. The requirement is waived for students who completed two years of the same foreign language at a secondary school with a final grade of C or better (grade of C- is not acceptable) in the last course taken.
DIVERSITY REQUIREMENT
The purpose of this requirement is to familiarize students with differences among diverse ethnic groups within the United States. Students can fulfill this requirement by taking a course with the DV designation beside it. This is a UW System requirement.
DECLARE YOUR MAJOR
A major is the subject or field of specialization you wish to study. In order to declare your major, you must complete a Plan Declaration Form and return it to the department that houses your major. Majors should be declared by the end of your first year, but no later than the end of your second year! For more information, visit: https://www.uwp.edu/currentstudent/declarationforms.cfm 14
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
The role of the general education courses in the liberal arts education is twofold: ⊲ ⊲
o acquire a knowledge and skill set used across all academic disciplines T To become aware that knowledge is diverse and composed of different principles and methodologies
The goal is to prepare students to be successful in their professional, civic, and personal lives because a liberal arts education takes students beyond training for a specific career and establishes fundamental skills used throughout life. Students learn a “breadth” of knowledge by completing courses from disciplines representing: ⊲ ⊲ ⊲
umanities and the Arts H Social and Behavioral Sciences Natural Sciences
The humanities and the arts foster imagination and creative expression through and about human experience in ways that the other areas do not. The social and behavioral sciences develop an understanding of social systems, the dynamics of individual and group behavior, and the forces that operate in social relationships in areas ranging from economics to politics. The natural sciences develop an understanding of natural phenomena and the process and importance of scientific investigations.
GENERAL EDUCATION/DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS ⊲ ⊲ ⊲
Humanities and the Arts (12 credit minimum) Social and Behavioral Sciences (12 credit minimum) Natural Sciences (12 credit minimum)
A minimum of 12 credits required from at least three different departments/ programs for each.

TYPICAL FULL-TIME SCHEDULE At ROAR and Transfer Transition, academic advisors will assist you in choosing courses that are appropriate for the interest area you would like to pursue in addition to appropriate courses based on your test scores. As a full-time student, you should schedule between 12-15 credits. When creating a class schedule, it’s important to take into account outside activities such as: school organizations, work, family responsibilities, and commuting to and from campus.
⊲ ⊲ ⊲ ⊲ ⊲
Math* English* Foreign Language** General Education Course Any Course that Interests you
* Enrollment based on placement (see page 13) ** If needed
Of course, every schedule depends on the individual student. You should use the Academic Maps to plan your semester-by-semester sequence of courses needed to complete your Parkside degree in four years. They will help you understand your degree requirements and provide a registration plan for each semester. The Academic Maps can be found on the following website: https://www.uwp.edu/learn/academicmaps/
CALCULATING YOUR GPA Your GPA is an average of the grades points and attempted credits. The GPA is calculated by dividing the total number of Grade Points earned by the total number of credits attempted. CREDITS

THINGS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW
he academic school year consists of a fall and spring semester. Each semester T lasts 14 weeks. You can also take courses during a summer session and/or winterim session (which is between the fall and spring semester) ost of the courses you take will last the full 14 weeks, but some 7-week classes are M offered. Toward the end of the fall semester, you will choose new courses with your advisor for the spring semester. (See important dates on page 5). lasses during the semester are usually Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/ C Thursday. For a standard 3-credit class, the Monday/Wednesday/Friday classes last for 53 minutes versus the Tuesday/Thursday classes which are 82 minutes in length. If you begin a class and feel it is not a good fit for you, you may be able to drop it â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but talk to your academic advisor first. Dropping a class may impact your financial aid and the class may not be offered the next semester. very student will have an advising hold on their account prior to the next semesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s E course registration. The hold will be removed and you will be able to register for classes after meeting with your advisor.

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE IN HIGH SCHOOL
IN COLLEGE
High school is mandatory and usually free. Time is structured by school officials and parents.
College is voluntary and expensive and students manage their own time.
Students can count on teachers to remind them of responsibilities and to guide them in setting priorities.
Students balance responsibilities and set priorities on their own.
Daily classes follow one after the other, with a few minutes in between.
Students often have large time gaps between classes; class time varies from day today.
Most class schedules are arranged by school personnel.
Students arrange their own schedule in consultation with their academic advisor.
Students are told about graduation requirements
Graduation requirements are complex, differ from program to program, and sometimes from year to year. Each student is expected to know those that apply to him/her.
Bottom Line: School personnel watch out for students-guiding and correcting them if necessary
Bottom Line: Students are expected to take responsibility for what they do and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do, as well as for the consequences of their decisions.
HIGH SCHOOL CLASSES
COLLEGE CLASSES
Students can normally get by with studying outside of class as little as 0-2 hours a week, and perhaps cramming before tests.
Students need to study at least 2 to 3 hours outside of class for each hour in class. A course load of 15 credits requires anywhere between 30-45 hours of independent study/homework time.
Reading is often re-taught in class; listening in class is sometimes enough.
Students are assigned substantial amounts of reading and writing which may not be directly addressed in class, but still show up in tests Bottom Line: Students are usually told in class what they need to learn from assigned readings.
18
Bottom Line: Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s up to the student to read and understand the assigned material; lectures and assignments proceed from the assumption that the students have already done so.
TEST IN HIGH SCHOOL
TEST IN COLLEGE
Testing tends to be frequent and covers small amounts of material.
Testing is usually infrequent and may be cumulative, covering large amounts of material. The student, not the professor, needs to organize the material to prepare for the test. A particular course may have 2 or 3 tests in a semester.
Makeup tests are often available.
Makeup tests are seldom an option; if they are, the student needs to request them.
Teachers are open to rearranging test dates to avoid conflict with school events.
Professors in different courses usually schedule tests without regard to the demands of other courses or outside activities.
Review sessions pointing out the most important concepts are common.
Professors rarely offer review sessions, and when they do, they expect the students to come prepared with questions.
Bottom Line: Mastery can be seen as the ability to reproduce what students are taught.
Bottom Line: Mastery is often seen as the ability to apply what the student has learned to new situations or to solve new kinds of problems.
GRADES IN HIGH SCHOOL
GRADES IN COLLEGE
Grades are given for most assigned work.
Grades may not be provided for all assigned work.
Extra credit projects are often available to help raise your grade.
Extra credit projects cannot, generally speaking, be used to raise a grade in a college course.
Students may graduate as long as they pass all required courses with a grade of D or higher.
Bottom Line: “Effort Counts.” Courses are usually structured to reward a “good faith effort.”
Bottom Line: Students are usually told in class what they need to learn from assigned readings.
Students graduate only if their average in classes meets the departmental standard specified in the Catalog. Bottom Line: “Results Count.” Though “good faith effort” is important in regard to the professor’s willingness to help students achieve good results, it will not substitute for results in the grading process. Bottom Line: It’s up to the student to read and understand the assigned material; lectures and assignments proceed from the assumption that the students have already done so.
19
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
COLLEGE PROFESSORS
Teachers check completed homework.
Professors may not always check completed homework, but they will assume the students can perform the same task on tests.
Teachers remind students of incomplete work.
Professors may not remind students of incomplete work. Teachers approach the students if they believe they need assistance. Teachers are often available for conversation before, during, or after class.
Professors are usually open and helpful, but most expect the students to initiate contact if they need assistance. Professors expect and want the student to attend their scheduled office hours.
Teachers are taught teaching methods to assist in imparting knowledge to students.
Professors have been trained as experts in their particular areas of research, not necessarily on how to teach.
Teachers provided students with information in case of absence.
Professors expect students to get from classmates any notes from missed classes.
Teachers present material to help students understand the material in the text book. Teachers often write information on the board as a summary of notes.
Professors may not follow the textbook. Instead, they may use other materials to supplement the text, or they may expect the students to relate the classes to the textbook readings. Professors may lecture nonstop, expecting students to identify the important points in their notes. Good notes are a must.
Teachers impart knowledge and facts, sometimes drawing direct connections to lead students through the thinking process. Teachers often take time to remind students of assignment due dates. Teachers carefully monitor class attendance.
Professors expect students to think about and synthesize seemingly unrelated topics on their own. Professors expect students to read, save, and consult the course syllabus (outline); the syllabus spells out exactly what is expected of the student, when it is due, and how it will be graded. Professors may not formally take roll, but they are still likely to know whether a student shows up.
Bottom Line: In high school students mostly acquire facts and skills.
20
Bottom Line: In college, students are responsible for thinking through and applying what they have learned.
TIPS FOR SUCCESS Many new students wonder if they will be able to “make it” in college courses. You may have heard from teachers, parents, and counselors that college level work is quite different from high school. College will differ from high school but only because it’s now your responsibility to learn. Your course work in college is more demanding but you will also find it more interesting. It may take some time and some adjustments to your study skills, but you can make a successful transition into college.
ATTENDANCE ATTEND CLASS | Lectures, class discussions, presentations and class activities elaborate on the assigned material and help with understanding. That is why attendance at every class is important. If you miss a class, get the handouts, class notes, and assignments from the missed class and be prepared for the next class.
CLASS PREPARATION Typically, you should prepare to spend a minimum of two (2) hours outside of class for every one (1) hour you spend in class. Class assignments, readings and written reports should be completed prior to the class meeting, not in class.
ASSIGNMENTS Read the syllabus carefully so you know when assignments are due. Know, also, whether they are to be typed. Correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation are expected on all assignments, whether specifically pointed out by the instructor or not.
TESTS AND QUIZZES Know when each test and quiz is scheduled. Ask your instructor for the policy on missed test and/or quizzes. You can’t assume that missed tests/quizzes can be made up. Missing a test/ quiz due to serious illness, emergency or other serious situations should be explained to the instructor as soon as possible.
ACADEMIC HONESTY Plagiarism is presenting someone else’s creation--words, charts, graphics, calculations, or ideas--as your own without referring to the original author. The Parkside Misconduct Policy #28 states that “Academic misconduct is an act in which a student seeks to claim credit for the work or efforts of another without authorization or citation.”
ADVISING Every student at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside is required to meet with an academic advisor each semester before registering. A hold is placed on your registration until you meet with your advisor. Sign up early to meet with your advisor so you can get the schedule of classes that you want!

TIPS ABOUT ADVISING
The mission of the Advising and Career Center is to provide a high quality and student centered advising experience that promotes and empowers the educational, career, and personal development of each student as they enter a diverse world. The Advising and Career Center supports students and connects them with employment opportunities, internships and volunteer opportunities through our online resource RangerTrak. Our team assists students in developing and maintaining a professional resume, cover letter and career portfolio. We help students link their academic paths with their desired career paths or graduate school by reviewing academic course schedules in a way that works best for the students.
STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES ⊲
⊲ ⊲ ⊲ ⊲ ⊲ ⊲ ⊲
22
Respect your own time and your advisor’s time by making and keeping appointments as needed: before registration times, when you are in academic trouble, and when you need to look at your path and direction (at least twice a semester). Take an active role in the advising process by coming to advising meetings prepared to discuss your goals and educational plans. Become knowledgeable about policies and procedures by studying the catalog, website, course schedule, and student handbook. Review your DARS regularly and track your progress towards your graduation requirements. Check your SOLAR and Ranger mail accounts regularly (at least once per day) for important updates and information. Ask questions whenever you are unsure about a policy or procedure or _ when you have other specific concerns. Follow up if you are referred to other resources and be willing to consider advice from other reliable resources. Take responsibility for making your own informed decisions.
TIPS ABOUT GRADES
ASK FOR HELP Don’t be afraid to ask for help. If you are having difficulty in a course, talk with your instructor. They want to know if you aren’t understanding the material or if there is something else going on in your life that is interfering with class. Also, talk with your advisor if you aren’t sure where to go for help. Your advisor can help you determine your next step.
WATCH YOUR GRADE POINT AVERAGE Many majors require a certain Grade Point Average (GPA) before you can declare. Be certain you start off with a strong GPA your first few semesters. It can really make a difference by providing a firm foundation. YOU MUST MAINTAIN A 2.0 GPA TO STAY IN GOOD ACADEMIC STANDING.
WATCH DEADLINES Deadlines are located on the Important Dates website, www.uwp.edu/currentstudent/importantdates.cfm. Deadlines for Financial Aid, Cashier, and Scholarship are included and you can use the Your Money website for additional information. www.uwp.edu/currentstudent/yourmoney/index.cfm In the front of the course schedule you will find all the deadlines for important things like the last day to add/drop a class, last day to withdraw from all classes, and the last day to apply for graduation just to name a few. Also, pay attention to Financial Aid, Cashier, and Scholarship deadlines which you can find by calling or stopping by those offices.
SEE YOUR ADVISOR
Your advisor can help you with course selection for the upcoming semester, talk with you about majors and/or graduate school, and help you declare your major. If you are having trouble in classes, adjusting to life as a college student, or just aren’t sure where to go for help, visit your advisor. You can find your advisor’s name in your SOLAR account. Visit the Advising website for more information: https://www.uwp.edu/learn/academicsupport/ advising.cfm 23

RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS DINING SERVICES

If you’re a light eater or someone who only snacks throughout the day, consider the lowest level plans–the Parkside Plan (for residents), and the Ultimate Saver (for commuters). If you prefer three meals a day and like your daily “snacks”, you might consider a larger plan like the Parkside Plus (for residents) or the Premium Saver (for commuters) If you need to adjust your plan at semester, no problem. If you find yourself running out of money during the semester, you can also add money to your current plan. ⊲
What exactly is Brickstone Buying Power or BBP? Dining plans are a cost effective way to enjoy dining on campus. The Brickstone Buying Power was created to provide you with the best value for your money.

For example, $105 worth of Dining Dollars is worth $210 when spent at Brickstone.
