Resources for UWM High School Students

Tools for Your Enrollment in a UWM Class

Contact Jordan Kellogg (kellogg3@uwm.edu) or dual-enrollment@uwm.edu with questions about applying, enrolling, withdrawing, etc.

Activating your UWM account: If you need to access Canvas, email, the library, and/or PAWS, you need to activate your UWM account and create a password. You will also need to choose an “authentication method” to protect your UWM accounts; we are all required to verify our identity when we log in. More on authentication options here: You can download Microsoft authentication app on your phone or get a verification code sent via text message to your phone number. If you forget your UWM password, try to reset it yourself. If you get locked out or didn’t set up password recovery, you will need to call the UWM IT Help Desk 414-229-4040 or submit an online request for support.

Important Dates & Deadlines (for dropping or withdrawing from the class). Follow the instructions on your UWM syllabus for dropping or withdrawing from the class.

Accessibility Resource Center (ARC): Students seeking accommodations must complete this form to request accommodations in their UWM class. College accommodations sometimes differ from high school. You should submit a request a few weeks before the semester begins to make sure they are in place before you need them.

Transferology:  Learn how courses transfer to other colleges and universities. If you don’t see it listed, that means no one has transferred this UWM course to that university before. Call the college/university you plan to attend and ask them; you might need to give them your course syllabus to get transfer credit.

Go here to request that UWM send your transcripts another institution. Make sure to submit this request after your final grade shows up on PAWS.
