Reporting a Concern

If a concern were to arise during your time as a student, we encourage you to review the Reporting a Concern website and consider reporting your concern via the appropriate link. This site provides students, faculty, and staff a way to identify the appropriate reporting avenue and link to that resource. For concerns not listed on this reporting page, or questions about the best place to submit a concern, please contact the Dean of Students Office.

ITS safety and security

Your campus username and password is the key to all your personal information including your grades, financial information, Canvas, email, and more. Treat your password like your toothbrush – never share your campus password with anyone, even your parents. You can grant your parents or family members guest access to your PASS account so they can support you and access relevant information without knowing your password.

ITS will never ask for your username and password – not in an email, form, or link. If you are having trouble logging into a system, ITS will ask you to log in first. Stay sharp and be thoughtful about emails that might be suspicious. If you’re not sure, forward any suspicious messages to helpdesk@uwplatt.edu.

The password you set up for your UW-Platteville account is good for 180 days before you will be asked to update it. You will receive three plain text email reminders prior to the password expiring.

To keep your physical devices safe on campus, ITS recommends using locks for your laptop and never leave your belongings unattended. In case your devices are stolen, make sure you have information like the make, model, serial number, and MAC address recorded somewhere safe. We recommend installing antivirus software on your devices.
