UWM GUIDE
Greetings
from the
Chancellor
Welcome to the University
of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
You may have read, heard or seen
information recently about the exciting
new construction projects and academic
program expansion under way at UWM.
We know that, as a family member of
an incoming UWM student, you are far
more concerned about the personal
and academic growth of your student
as he or she becomes part of our
dynamic university. It is important that
you know that the members of our
faculty and staff share that concern.
6
That is why in recent years, we have
expanded many academic and support
services with resources like the UWM
Student Success Center. It has tools
like a Virtual Reference Desk, Peer
Mentoring and Tutoring. It is a clear
demonstration that we want to give all
students the best possible opportunity to
succeed throughout their college years.
I appreciate the role you have played
in the development of your student
to date, and am honored that you are
entrusting the UWM community to
continue that work in the coming years.
You will find these initiatives and more
described in this booklet or explained
today during orientation sessions. Please
do not hesitate to ask questions if you
need more information on any topic.
Sincerely,
Michael R. Lovell
Chancellor

Tips for Family Members
As a family member you may ask
yourself, how can I best support my
student? What can I do to help them
succeed? Referring your student to
campus resources will allow them
to take responsibility for their own
success while allowing you to take
part in important conversations
regarding their transition.

Has your student talked with their
Mentor and/or Resident Assistant?
These upper-class, student leaders
can refer your student to all the
resources UWM has to offer.
www.universityparent.com/milwaukee
Has your student signed-up for tutoring?
Many students wait too long to access
tutoring or supplemental instruction,
making it difficult to catch-up. Tutoring
is not just for students who may be
struggling in a course; it provides
valuable supplemental instruction for
students at all skill levels. The Writing
Center can also benefit writers of all
levels to gain feedback on their work.
Is your student making
healthy decisions?
Are they exercising and eating healthy?
What about getting enough sleep?
Have their social behaviors changed?
Has your student met with
their academic advisor?
Your student’s advisor plays a major role
in their success, specifically graduating
in a timely manner. Their advisor can
inform them of all add/drop deadlines
and any fees associated with courses.

their academic advisors at least once each semester.

Study Abroad
CIE’s study abroad office offers numerous
study program opportunities throughout
the world. The study abroad office houses
study abroad program files, brochures,
and other information about overseas
programs, as well as information about
working abroad, international careers,
teaching abroad, and international travel.
Learning about people and places beyond
U.S. borders has never been more
important. At UWM, students have access
to a wide-range of international study
programs that allow them to earn credits
toward their degrees without extending
the time needed to graduate. Financial aid
can be used to cover the costs of all study
abroad programs. Instruction for most
programs is in English, even in countries
where English is not spoken. Study
abroad is an excellent way for students
to expand their horizons and gain the
skills currently in demand by employers.
Study abroad and separate yourself from
the pack! For more information visit

via their PAWS account. Typically,
students will see grades and academic
standing reported on PAWS within

Stay Connected via PAWS
As an important step in facilitating
connections between families and
students, UWM offers a feature within
our PAWS student information system
called “Designate Access.” By utilizing
designated access, students will now have
the ability to give up to three individuals
⊲⊲ Make a Payment
⊲⊲ View Grades
If you are interested in being able to
have your own access to this information
within your student’s PAWS account,
your first step is to connect with your
student as they alone can set this up.
Step-by-step tutorials to guide
students through setting up your
designated access are available as are
instructions for you to follow once your
student has granted you access at
www.uwm.edu/paws/students/
designate.cfm.
Family Educational Rights
& Privacy Act (FERPA)
When your child was in elementary and
high school, the Family Educational
Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) gave
you and your child rights to access
and control your child’s educational
records. Now that your child is in
college, these same laws transfer
ownership of the records directly to
your student. According to FERPA,
college students are considered
responsible adults and are allowed to
determine who will receive information
about them. While family members
understandably have a vested
interest in a student’s academic
progress, they are not automatically
granted access to a student’s
records without written consent.
In our experience, open and honest communication about academic standing
and grades is the best way to help them succeed. Begin discussions with your
student now about your expectations and how you would like to see their progress
reported to you. More detailed information about your student’s rights under
FERPA and resources available to you can be found at www.ferpa.uwm.edu.

Helping Your Student
Make Healthy Decisions
Want to help your student thrive at UWM? Talk with them about alcohol and other
drug use, both before they arrive on campus and throughout their time in school.
While many UWM students choose to drink moderately or not at all, substance
use has the potential to cause a variety of interpersonal, academic, legal, and
health concerns that may derail a student’s successful college experience.
Tips for talking with your student about their alcohol and other drug use:
•
•
Be direct. Ask your student
about how they intend to navigate
decisions related to the use of
alcohol and other drugs within the
college environment. Check in with
them often to discuss what they
have experienced academically,
legally, and socially as a result of
these decisions, and help them to
develop new strategies, as needed.
Express your own values, as they
relate to alcohol and other drug
use, and work with your student
to create shared expectations
for their college experience.
Parents and other family members
have a powerful influence on
the substance-related behaviors
of their college students.
•
Promote connections to campus.
Encourage your student to seek
opportunities to connect with other
UWM students in substance-free
environments, through involvement
in student groups, recreational
activities, and on-campus programs.
•
Reinforce positive coping
techniques. Some students turn to
substance use as a means of coping
with stress or other emotional
difficulties. Remind your student
that alcohol and other drugs are
not an effective way of coping
with issues that may be causing
them worry or distress, and help
them connect with appropriate
academic or counseling resources.
If your student’s use of
alcohol or other drugs is
detrimentally impacting
their health, academic
performance, or general
transition to college –
or if you are otherwise
worried about their
substance use – express
your observations and
concerns in an open
and nonjudgmental
manner, and offer to
help them connect with
available resources.

S.A.F.E. Alert
UWM is located in an area of Milwaukee
known as the “East Side.” The East Side
has many unique neighborhoods, with
many active and engaged long-term
residents and students. Neighborhood
Relations works as a communication
link between those living in the
neighborhoods, the city of Milwaukee,
and the university. Tips for living off
campus and being a “good neighbor”
are sent to students living off campus
every year, and can be a helpful tool for
parents and families when preparing
their student for off-campus living.
S.A.F.E. Alert allows students to register
to be notified via text message or email
in the event of a campus emergency.
S.A.F.E. Alert is completely voluntary,
and will be used for emergency contact
purposes only. Emergency purposes
include credible, life-threatening incidents
that present imminent danger. S.A.F.E.
Alert is only available to members of

you and your college student may
have about career and college.

and ask them questions like:
⊲⊲ What are your interests—what
do you really like to do?
⊲⊲ What are your skills and abilities—
what do you do well?
⊲⊲ What are your values—or what
do you really care about?

MILWAUKEE GUIDE
MILWAUKEE GUIDE
Welcome to Milwaukee!
One of Newsweek’s 20 “Can-Do
Capitals” in America, Milwaukee
boasts major Fortune 500 companies.
But the city is also an incubator for
visionary concepts like the Milwaukee
Water Council, a collaboration of
water-based industry and university
research. You’ll find our growing
technology base and lively creative
industry provide lots of opportunities
for internships, making Metro
Milwaukee the perfect place to
study, earn, grow and develop
your work and professional life.
Don’t miss Milwaukee’s SoHo, the
Historic Third Ward, home to the
Milwaukee Public Market, art galleries,
shopping, restaurants and theaters.
Then stroll along the colorful RiverWalk
to Old World Third Street, where the
city’s German heritage is celebrated
with restaurants, and specialty
shops featuring sausages, cheese
and spices. Spirited nightlife can be
found all over downtown, in university
neighborhoods, the eclectic Brady
Street and hipster Walker’s Point.
Dear Parents and Students:
Welcome to Milwaukee! Ever notice how a city’s interesting quirks, cultural
mix and historical perspective give it an aura, a vibe, an identity that sets it
apart? Milwaukee’s is a relaxed sophistication. We’re a city where historic
“cream city brick” buildings complement sweeping modern architecture
and where a vibrant downtown combines with quaint neighborhoods
and a green network of parks and bike trails. Add to this the warm
sincerity of our residents and you’ve got the perfect university town.
Milwaukee’s expansive green lakefront
and preserved riverside trails provide a
green urban environment for running,
bike riding, sailing, paddling and
hiking. The city’s premiere performing
arts groups showcase a wide range of
cultural offerings in music, dance and
theater – many with student discounts
– to round out the winter season.
Listen to an indie band, a concert or
dance on the tables at a non-stop
parade of summer festivals. Dine
out at restaurants that run the gamut
from James Beard-nominated chefs
to cozy neighborhood pubs. And
don’t forget to take in a lively Brewers
tailgate party. There’s no end to the
options in Milwaukee!
Big-city entertainment, urban outdoor
adventure and must-see attractions all
combine with ease and accessibility,
giving Milwaukee an enviable
quality of life any time of year.
Milwaukee is often referred
to as a smaller version of
Chicago. But here’s what the UK
Guardian said in July of 2011,
“…if Chicago and Milwaukee really
are related, then Milwaukee’s the
hip younger sister you secretly
want to hang out with.”
You’ve made a great choice in coming
to Milwaukee for your studies. We
think your family and friends and
will envy you your new hometown,
and you just may wish to settle
down here! Please check out
www.visitmilwaukee.org to
learn more about the city and
what’s happening in town.
Best wishes in your career choices!
