A special student is anyone who wishes to take one or two classes at a time but is not ready or interested in being an admitted student yet. Special students do not qualify for the regular forms of financial aid, and they have last priority in registration, after all admitted students have registered. If people have some flexibility in their schedule, we can usually find a class or two that meets the needs or interests of a special student. The UW-Eau Claire Children's Center is a professionally staffed and accredited program of the National Association for the Education of Young Children. The Center is available to the children of students, faculty and staff, and to community members as openings permit.
Childcare begins for children who are aged two and older.
Some age groups have waiting lists. In some cases, like the Nursing program, you might need to update some of your required science credits, even if you took a college chemistry course some years ago. If your old credits are from a technical college, there might also be some general studies credits that we cannot accept because the courses at the time you took them may not have been comparable to the current university curriculum. In some cases the Admissions Office may have incomplete information about a course and may delay making a decision on its transferability. It's been years since I've been in school.
