Students receive periodic information regarding academic deadlines, scholarship and employment opportunities, and special programs sponsored by OMSS and collaborating offices.

Many students also work with our staff members on a regular basis to receive academic, financial, and personal advising.

Staff members contact their students and share the services of the office and other campus resources.

The rapport built during this first year has been for most a positive experience that develops over the student’s years at UWL.

The Grade Progress Review Program provides feedback from professors on how well multicultural students are doing in class.

We specifically request information on freshmen, new transfer and probationary multicultural students, as well as those with a cumulative GPA lower than 2.5.

Students receive the feedback and advising from OMSS staff.

If the student is not doing well in class an OMSS staff member will communicate the options that the student has, which are: talk to the professor about their progress, seek tutor assistance (departmental or OMSS) or drop the class.

The program provides specific class tutoring to multi-ethnic UW-L undergraduate students upon request. (African American, Latin American, Naive American, Southeast Asian, and other Asians who are U.S. citizens or refugees)

Tutoring sessions are designed to meet the students’ needs with flexible hours and individual or small group sessions.

This service is free and is designed to support and complement tutoring offered by the various departments on campus.

This program too can be an employment opportunity for students that excel in specific courses.
