As a new freshman at UW Oshkosh, you are required to take placement tests prior to class registration on your Titan Takeoff day.

If you have successfully completed a transferable level course (eg. CAPP, ECCP) in English composition, math or foreign language, or if you have completed an AP or IB course prior to your senior year and received a qualifying score on the exam, you may be exempt. Please review the following information to determine if you are exempt: 

AP – Advance Placement

IB – International Baccalaureate

Review transferable course work from other universities

The results of these exams will be used to place you in the appropriate level English and math courses. Foreign language exams are optional but would be required if you plan to continue your studies in Spanish, French or German. 

For more information about placement testing, please see this website.

I don’t know my UW Oshkosh email account. What should I do?

What is the Title IX Mandatory Training?

tEvery student at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh – Fond du Lac, Fox Cities, and Oshkosh campuses is required to complete a Sexual Assault Prevention Training through Vector. This training is required regardless of undergraduate or graduate statues, on-campus or online courses, or the number of credits you enroll in. You will receive emails reminders  from Vector but can also complete training using this link- https://uwoshkoshstudents-wi.vectorlmsedu.com/login.

Completion of this course is mandated by federal law through Title IX and Section 304 of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, and the Wisconsin State Statute. The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Policy, and University of Wisconsin System Policy state that “At a minimum, all students and employees will be required to complete the campus-supported online training covering issues of sexual violence and sexual harassment.” The Vector training is our campus-supported online training.

      UW Oshkosh Email Update:

      Multi-Factor Authentication is two-step verification process that each UWO student must use when accessing their Outlook email account. This authentication process is to better secure your email, especially when accessing sensitive information. Because passwords can be forgotten, stolen, or compromised, this additional security step helps to make your account more difficult for others to access.

      The UW Oshkosh IT Department has step-by-step instructions as to how to set this up on their website here.
