If you have not activated your UW-Eau Claire account, or need to reset your password, visit myusername.uwec.edu. You will need your username and Campus ID, which can be found in your admit letter or application acknowledgment email.

Transfer students should be notified by their Advising, Retention, and Career Center (ARCC) advisor if placement tests are needed, but it's always helpful to reach out if you're uncertain. Should it be determined that you need to complete Placement tests, more detailed information on the transfer student testing process can be found here.

To create a safe and inclusive campus experience, all new students must complete 3 trainings: Alcohol.edu, Sexual Assault & Sexual Harassment Prevention, and Diversity & Inclusion. You can expect an email from edi@uwec.edu ahead of your first semester, and can reach out to that same email with any questions. Failing to complete these trainings may prohibit you from registering for your second semester, so be sure to get them done early on in your first semester.

You'll want to make sure and login to CampS to familiarize yourself with the platform, and take care of any academic holds listed below before your orientation academic advising appointment (view instructions via links/videos provided below). CampS is the platform you will use to sign up for classes, update your contact information, view your grades, and much more! Feel free to jump back to these videos for future semesters; note - some videos do not have sound. 

Class Search and Registration Tools:

• How to use CampS to Search and Register for Classes
• Using Schedule Builder to Select and Enroll in Classes

Removing Holds from your Account in order to Register for Classes:

• Pre-Registration Agreement Hold
• E-Communication Hold
• Updating your Contact Information Hold
• Payment Plan Agreement (PPA) Hold

Below are also some additional tips to using CampS:

• It is easier to view and navigate CampS using a laptop or computer than it is using a mobile device. 
• Once you're in CampS, you'll find that there are many ways to complete tasks. We find it is usually easiest to complete all of your tasks by starting in the "Tasks" tile, which can be found under the 'Main Menu.'

All transfer students are required to complete a transfer registration appointment before enrolling in classes. You’ll have the opportunity to meet your advisor, learn how your credits transfer to UW-Eau Claire and discuss other campus resources.

On these days, students and their families are able to tour our beautiful campus and residence halls, connect with staff, faculty, and other Blugolds, dine on campus, attend live sessions with campus partners, check out places in the community, and much more! Programming is subject to change by semester, and registration is required. Click here to register.

Blugold Experience Days are a great opportunity to pick up your textbooks. Check out these helpful resources to be best prepared when picking up these items:

Online photo submission for Blugold IDs: Students are required to select and upload their own photo and copy of drivers license or government issued ID for their Blugold photo ID. Simply upload your photo and a picture of your government-issued ID to move forward with this option. You can expect an email from Blugold Card Services ahead of your first semester with more information, and can reach out to 715-836-4070 with any questions or concerns. More information can be found here: https://www.uwec.edu/blugold-card/. 

Finding your Blugold ID Number: Once you've submitted your photo online, you'll be able to download your mobile ID to your phone. At times you may need to know your ID Number, which we've provided instructions on how to find here.

Grabbing your textbooks: Main textbooks for each course are usually available for rental, but some courses have textbooks and other course materials that need to be purchased. If you are renting your textbooks, you may only check out one copy of each book and you may only check out books for courses you are currently enrolled in. Your Blugold ID will be required for all rental transactions.
