UW Oshkosh has an automated telephone line for timely information concerning class cancellations for winter weather-related conditions. Titan Alert will send out emails and text messages to notify of any winter weather advisory. Please note that the University rarely suspends classes for weather-related conditions. Students should be aware that some faculty and instructional academic staff provide information specific to their courses (e.g., including such information as arrangements for making up any canceled sessions).

In addition to Titan Alert and notifying radio and television stations, the University’s official web site will also post notices of weather-related news.

Students interested in furthering their education are encouraged to consider graduate studies at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. The master’s degree programs, practice doctorates, certificates, post-master’s programs and graduate courses available are fully described in the Graduate School Bulletin.

Also, undergraduate students who are certified by an undergraduate examiner to be within nine units (crs.) of graduation and who meet other Graduate School admission requirements may request permission to enroll in some graduate courses as a final term senior during the term in which their baccalaureate degree will be awarded.

Certain courses and research projects require that students work with chemicals while engaging in academic studies. Many of these chemicals may be hazardous to your health. Instructors of these courses and research projects must inform and train students on procedures that will maintain the students’ personal health and safety and provide them with information on the hazards of specific chemicals that will be used during their course of study. Furthermore, instructors must enforce and follow safety policies. Prior to use of hazardous materials and equipment, students shall review the procedures and information and discuss any associated concerns with the instructor.
