Step 4: Coursework

1. You may fulfill the Coursework for your new license, as outlined in your individualized plan, at any 2 or 4 year accredited institution and in any format (i.e. face to face, online, etc).  However, the EXCEL Center must approve all courses, other than those offered through UW Oshkosh, prior to enrollment in the course. 
2. You must register for all UW Oshkosh courses through the EXCEL Center - do not register on your own. Compacted (accelerated) courses, both in credit and time, are available for some licensure areas.  Please email Erika at excel@uwosh.edu with the courses you would like to be enrolled in.
3. Please be sure that you plan ahead as there are deadlines for enrolling in courses at most institutions.  To check the deadlines for UW Oshkosh, please click here.

5. Evidence of relevant, applicable life experience may be submitted in order to meet any course requirement identified after the review of your transcripts.  You must justify that evidence of life experience is consistent with the learning outcomes in a specific UW Oshkosh course description through a personal statement, relevant evidence and a supporting third party statement.  For more details, reference the Life Experience information or contact the EXCEL Center. 

Reminder that all transcripts must be sent to The EXCEL Center and all fees must be paid to UW Oshkosh in order for us to process your DPI License Application.
