Why order matters
Some steps unlock others: you can't register until placement testing is done, can't get housing assigned without the housing application and deposit, can't get financial aid finalized without verification documents. The checklist in your admitted-student portal tracks what's done and what's blocking what.
Don't skip the boring ones
The immunization form, the online modules, and the final transcript are the items students forget — and each can put a hold on registration or move-in. Knock them out early in the summer when there's time, not the week before.
In and around Porter Falls
Most families reach campus from the west on US 12 or by regional coach into the Depot District, and the Welcome Center at the Depot is where visits start.
The practical details
Right after depositing: Set up your Porter account and email, sign up for orientation, and submit health and immunization forms. Summer: Take placement tests, register at orientation, apply for housing, set up billing and any payment plan, send final transcripts. Before move-in: Confirm your schedule, get your Porter Card photo in, complete required online modules (alcohol, consent, academic integrity). 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 Office of Admissions (Welcome Center at the Depot). Call (715) 555–0143 or email admissions@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.
