Week of May 13, 2024 – Final newsletter of the year!
Good luck to everyone on a successful finals week! Congratulations to those of you who are graduating or completing a program. We are so very proud of you! For the rest of you, we can’t wait to see you this summer or next fall. Make sure you all take time this summer to rest, relax and have fun 😊
If you plan on taking time off of school or leaving UWSP, there are forms in the “forms” tile in accesspoint to indicate this. Please do that right away if you have not already done so.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR EVERYONE: Here are a few highlights of things to do and know:
- Not registered yet or still need to get into classes? See below for helpful directions.
- You are required to read your email throughout the summer and all breaks. Remember, if a class is cancelled, you get an email asking you to enroll in something else. No one calls you. Others may also be trying to reach you.
- Student Teaching next spring 2024? You must sign up for a mandatory student teaching application meeting taking place in September -sign up was required by May 10. We do quite a bit of work in the summer to prepare for this meeting and you must be signed up for a meeting in order for us to do this on your behalf. You received 2 emails from the Field Experiences Office asking you to take care of this. If you forgot to do this, email them immediately asking them if they will still allow you to sign up field.experiences@uwsp.edu They will need your name, ID#, majors/minors and which meeting you want to attend.
- Review the advising guide this summer – We recommend reviewing the advising guide at the start and end of every semester. Make sure you are meeting expectations and assess yourself on where you land on the disposition expectations at the end of the guide.
- Log your experiences – Remember, you must keep a log of all of your experiences. Examples: Organizations you are involved in, jobs or volunteer work you have done, practicum/pre-clinical experiences for your courses. We recommend keeping track of when you did this work, who you worked with, how many hours you put in, and what kind of work you did.
- SOE Advising office is open all summer – don’t forget we are here throughout the summer if you need any assistance or need to talk through anything.
- Requirements to apply to the Professional Education Program are changing this fall – https://www.uwsp.edu/education/school-of-education/student-resources/advising/admissions/
- Spring grading deadline – all grades are required to be entered into accesspoint by 2:00pm Thursday, May 23rd. Do not rely on canvas for your final grade. Make sure you check your grades in accesspoint.
Have a great week!

Check your Degree Progress Report
Now that you are registered for fall, it is a good idea to check your degree progress report to ensure your classes are landing where you thought they would and you can see what you still need to take.
You can find your degree progress report in accesspoint under DEGREE PROGRESS. Once you open it, click VIEW AS .PDF. You will be able to see all of your credits required, what general ed requirements you are meeting and those not yet satisfied, then you will see all of your course requirements and GPAs for the programs you have indicated. It is important to be checking this after you register every semester and then again when your grades are posted every semester.
