FAQs
There is no ‘best’ date. Select a date that works in your schedule and allows you to spend the entire day with us. We have steps in place to open seats in classes throughout the START dates to ensure a wide variety of classes for all students to select - including those attending the final days. There will be enough classes available to create a beneficial schedule for your first semester no matter which date you attend.
While we welcome family members to this event, only you (the student) are required to attend.
This can be taken care of when you register for your START date. Please log into your WINGS Student Center at https://wings.uwlax.edu and scroll down to the Admissions section. Click on ‘START Registration.’ You will be able to select a new major based on your interests. Click ‘save’ and your major will be updated.
We understand there may be special circumstances preventing you from attending START. Please contact the Admissions office at 608.785.8939 or admissions@uwlax.edu.
