CONTINUING EDUCATION
Approximately twenty percent of the students at UW-Whitewater are 25
years of age or older and are enrolled as full or part-time students in
on-campus or off-campus classes. This large group of adults is served by
the Office of Continuing Education through the various programs and
services described below.
CREDIT OUTREACH:
Off-campus courses are offered in many communities in
southeastern Wisconsin in response to requests received by the Credit
Outreach Office and on the basis of survey results. Credit granted by
UW-Whitewater for off-campus courses is fully accredited. Students
enrolling in off-campus courses are responsible for making certain that
such courses meet the requirements of the curriculum in which they are
enrolled. If there is a question about a particular course, students
should contact the academic adviser or the chairperson of their major
department or emphasis area. For an off-campus timetable or additional
