Space and support

A quiet reflection room in Founders Union is open to any tradition or none, and visiting chaplains from several faiths hold regular hours there for students who want a conversation rather than just a quiet room.

Academic accommodation

Students who need to miss class or reschedule an exam for a religious observance notify the instructor as early in the term as possible; the accommodation is a standing university policy, not something each instructor decides independently.

In and around Porter Falls

Student life at Porter is organised out of Founders Union, the building students call the campus living room. The Dean of Students Office is on the second floor.

The practical details

Reflection space: Founders Union, Room 205, open daily. Chaplains: Visiting chaplains from several traditions hold regular hours. Accommodation: Excused absence for observance, arranged with instructors. 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 Dean of Students Office (Founders Union, Room 200). Call (715) 555–0182 or email deanofstudents@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.
