Congrats – opportunities await!

Congratulations on your acceptance to UW-Eau Claire – Barron County. Here are your next steps to start your academic journey:

1. Activate your account

Activate your account by visiting myusername.uwec.edu. You will need your username and campus ID, which are found in your admit letter or application acknowledgement email.

2. Accept your admission

After being admitted and activating your account (step 1 above), accept your admission offer by signing into CampS, selecting the Admissions tile, and clicking the Accept button.

3. Apply for financial aid

To be considered for financial assistance, complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), available at fafsa.gov. Submit your FAFSA using the UW-Eau Claire FAFSA code (003917). For questions, contact the Solution Center at uwecbcinfo@uwec.edu or 715-788-6244.

4. Complete your Pre-Advising Survey (PAS)

This form is crucial to the success of your advising appointment, as it helps our advising staff assess your academic preparedness and provide potential class selections. This questionnaire must be completed before your advising appointment. Complete your PAS here.

5. Apply for scholarships

Feb. 1 priority; April 1 deadline

Admitted first-year and transfer students should visit the scholarship website for the scholarship application, descriptions, criteria and amounts. Students who are accepted by the April 1 application deadline must fill out the separate Admissions scholarship application to apply. Eligible students who are admitted and have a scholarship application submitted by the Feb. 1 priority application deadline may be considered for early awards.

*Note: Students in the Launch Program or the Associate of Arts and Science Online Collaborative program are not eligible for scholarships.

6. Register for and complete placement tests

All incoming students are required to take placement tests. Tests must be completed at least ten days before your scheduled Orientation date unless taken on campus. 

For Fall 2024:

Complete your tests in person at UWEC – Barron County

In-person placement tests are held on our Rice Lake campus and are proctored by a staff member. You must register for in-person placement testing that is taking place at least 10 days before your Orientation date. Please note that it takes about one week for tests taken in person to be scored and sent to UW-Eau Claire. We highly recommend that you take them as soon as possible to ensure you're able to register for your classes on time. Registration is not yet available for students enrolling for Fall 2024.

The following dates are available for in-person testing:

Thursday, May 30th from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm - Register here

Thursday, June 27th from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm - Register here.

Tuesday, July 30th from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm - Register here

Monday, August 26th from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm - Register here.

Complete your tests online
You may also take your placement tests online – click here to register. You will be asked to log in with your campus username and password to complete the registration form before taking the exam. Within two business days of registering (but more likely within a few minutes), you will receive an email from Scantron with a username and password for accessing the exams.

    • Please note that online options for testing are not proctored and require more processing time. We recommend taking the online placement test 10 to 14 days prior to your advising appointment. 
  • All students are required to complete the Math and English tests, and if you have had two or more years of French, German, or Spanish, take the placement exam for that language.
  • Transfer students without transferable college credit for English or Math will need to take UW System placement tests. Students can work with their advisor to determine if placement tests need to be taken.

If you have questions regarding placement testing, please contact Sara Potter at pottersk@uwec.edu.

It is the student’s responsibility to contact the testing agencies to have the official scores sent.   If you have questions, contact the Solution Center staff at uwecbcinfo@uwec.edu or 715-788-6244.

9. Submit final transcript(s)

First-year students: After graduation submit an official high school transcript for a review of your senior grades and proof of graduation.

First-year and transfer students: To gain college credit for any college coursework taken, send a final official transcript from the college/university you took the course(s) through. All transcripts should be sent to the UW-Eau Claire Admissions Office prior to orientation for best advising. Altering or failing high school or college coursework could result in cancellation of your admission.

Official transcripts can be sent by your institution through a secured electronic delivery service or via US Postal to the address below:
