Succeeding Academically

Academic Support Programs

The mission of Academic Support Programs is to equip students for academic success by providing innovative learning strategies and connections to campus resources. ASP offers a comprehensive range of services for UW-Platteville students supported through your tuition.

These no-cost services include:

• Academic advising and academic coaching – students work with professional staff to discuss degree planning, course selection, and overall strategies to be successful in college. • First Year Experience – the transition to college can be overwhelming for any student. Our First Year Experience program offers opportunities for students to develop skills and strategies to be successful, both personally and academically. • Tutoring and writing assistance – our trained peer tutors can help students in many courses to increase content understanding and academic confidence. Successful students can be hired as peer tutors in a wide variety of subject areas. • Peer Mentor Program – our friendly Peer Mentors support first year and transfer students in their transition to college life and the campus community.

Our services can help all students. Whether you are a student who was successful in high school but are struggling with the transition to college level courses, or a student who is doing well and wants to increase confidence, we are here to support your academic success. Learning to ask for help is one of the most important skills you’ll need to develop in order to be successful in college.
