How do I get to the program site?

Where can I park on campus?

How can I receive a transcript for courses or programs I have taken through Continuing Education?

Transcripts for non-credit programs can be obtained by emailing ce@uwec.edu or calling 715-836-3636. Transcripts for credit courses are available through Blugold Central. 

What are my payment options?

We accept payment by Visa, American Express, MasterCard, Discover, cash, check or money order. Please make your check or money order payable to UW-Eau Claire. Payment is required at the time of registration for all programs and services.

For most programs, once payment is received, a confirmation letter including amount paid will be forwarded to the registrant.  Any outstanding balance will be reflected on the confirmation letter, which will serve as the record of payment/receipt.

Please see program registration materials or the program web page for payment requirements, options, and/or policy exceptions.

If programs are full, will there be a wait list?

Most courses have limited enrollment. Registrations for noncredit courses are ongoing and processed in the order received. A wait list may be established for programs once filled. If space becomes available in a program or a course section is added, waitlisted registrant(s) will be contacted. Payment must be made at that time.

What is your cancellation policy?
