Taking Time for Wellness

Dean of Students Office

The Dean of Students Office serves as a resource for students, their families, faculty, and staff. We can assist with things such as contacting faculty about class absence, addressing students’ campus concerns, navigating challenging situations, identifying additional support and resources, answering questions about campus policy and procedure, and addressing student academic and behavioral concerns. If you are struggling to find out who can help you on campus or what process you need to follow, we can help you get answers.

PREVENTION AND EDUCATION

The prevention and education coordinator and trained peer educators are dedicated to providing education and prevention opportunities for the UW-Platteville community to help contribute to a safe, inclusive, and healthy campus. Visit the Prevention and Education portion of the Dean of Students Office website for more information.

We encourage all students to review the Student Handbook.

University Counseling Services

University Counseling Services is the primary source of mental health counseling for students on the UW-Platteville campus. Confidential, short-term counseling is provided to assist students with personal, social, developmental, academic, or career concerns related to their education progress, personal growth, and general well-being. These services are provided through telecounseling with licensed counselors on the Platteville campus. Counseling services are funded through segregated fees, so you have already paid for the services. We encourage you to take advantage of it.

Textbook Center

The textbook rental program is a unique and important way that we make a degree affordable to you. The Textbook Center provides books and other formats of course materials that you are required to have for your classes. Students pay a semester rental fee for the use of textbooks. The semester fee is the same whether you require four or 24 books. If you are a part-time student, or attending a shorter session, the fee is prorated per course credit.

BOOK PICKUP

• Electronically sign the Textbook Rental Agreement in your PASS account, which is available beginning early August. • Print or screenshot your textbook list. • Bring your textbook list and Campus Card to the Textbook Center, located in T.N. Savides Library, during pickup hours.

OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

• Returning books works just the opposite. To avoid late fees or being charged for a book, materials must be returned by the last day of the semester. To avoid additional charges your textbooks must be returned in good condition. • The Textbook Center will use your campus email to communicate with you. Please make sure to check for email notices weekly before and after the semester begins or ends. This is when notices go out about unreturned books or changes in our procedures.

Students also have access to multiple computer labs with printers on campus.

Choosing a computer involves many factors, including personal preference, budget, and needs. ITS cannot recommend one particular product over another.
