ADVISING AND LICENSURE
Welcome to Advising in the College of Education and Professional Studies!
We are excited to help you navigate the College of Education and Professional Studies at UW-Whitewater. Our offices are located on the main floor of Winther Hall. Visit the Information Desk window Monday through Friday from 8:00am to 4:30pm (appointments are encouraged).
The College of Education and Professional Studies provides Academic Advising focused on encouraging and assisting students to explore, define, and achieve academic goals that are consistent with their personal and professional interests. Our role is to ensure students are eligible to apply to Professional Education and achieve their Licensure goals. We deliver high quality, student-centered advising that supports whole student development, helps students persist to graduation, and support students experiencing academic difficulty.
Every student with an Education Major that has completed at least 24 credits is assigned an Advisor in our College. Students in Communication Science and Disorders, Elementary Education, Early Childhood Education, Human Performance and Physical Education will be assigned a COEPS Advisor. Secondary Education and Special Education majors will have a Faculty Advisor assigned once they exceed 24 credits. Each student has a list of Advisor(s) listed on their WINS Student Center.
We will be asking students to download the Navigate app to schedule appointments with their COEPS advisors. If you are unable to download the app, or have questions or need assistance in scheduling an appointment please email education@uww.edu or call 262-472-1101.

The CORE is a computer based test which you may take at an ETS testing site near you. Find a test center near you. There are also online guides and registration information available at the ETS website.
For all students pursuing teacher licensure programs and Communication Sciences and Disorders, there are two points of admission. The first is admission to UW-Whitewater and the second is admission to Professional Education. Students must be admitted to Professional Education in order to take upper-level courses for licensure required for their degree programs. In order to apply for admission to Professional Education, students must meet all of the Basic Eligibility Requirements and submit their application materials during one of the designated admission cycles for their program. There are admission cycles during the fall, spring and summer terms. While most programs admit during all three terms, the Early Childhood Dual Licensure program accepts applications during the fall only, Communication Sciences and Disorders accepts applications during the spring only, and the Elementary/Middle Education program admits in fall and spring, but not summer.
