Coming back
If you left Porter or another school with credits, start with a transcript evaluation and a readmission conversation. Many general-education and some major requirements can be met through credit for prior learning — a documented portfolio, a standardized exam, or an evaluated professional certification — which can cut a year off the plan.
Fitting it into a life
Degree-completion tracks are built for people working full time: predictable evening or online sections, a cohort that moves together, and an adviser who maps the whole remaining path up front so there are no surprises. Financial aid still applies; a half-time schedule keeps most of it.
In and around Porter Falls
Online and Extended Learning works out of the second level of Halvorsen Library and supports learners across Wesconsin who rarely come to Porter Falls in person.
The practical details
Credit for prior learning: A portfolio or exam process to earn credit for work and training already done. Scheduling: Evening, weekend, and fully online sections concentrated in a few programs. One contact: An adviser in Online & Extended Learning who handles readmission, transfer evaluation, and planning. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is Online & Extended Learning (Halvorsen Library, Level 2). Call (715) 555–0128 or email online@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. Every office, person, building, phone number and statistic on this page is invented; nothing here describes a real institution or a service you can actually contact.
