Skills first
A lot of test anxiety eases with better preparation and a routine: practice under timed conditions, a pre-exam plan, sleep, and a few grounding techniques. The learning-strategies workshops and a coaching session cover this and resolve it for many students.
When it's clinical
If anxiety is intense, physical, or spills beyond exams, the counseling center can help with brief therapy and, where appropriate, a referral for evaluation. A diagnosed condition can qualify you for testing accommodations, which the Testing Center administers.
In and around Porter Falls
The Porter Student Help Desk in Founders Union 118 is the single place to start when it is not obvious which office owns a question.
The practical details
Start with: A study-skills workshop on exam prep and a self-check with an academic coach. If it's more than nerves: Short-term counseling, and screening for an anxiety condition that could support accommodations. Accommodations: Extended time or a reduced-distraction room, arranged through Accessibility Services with documentation. 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 Porter Student Help Desk (Founders Union, Room 118). Call (715) 555–0120 or email help@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.
