A-At Registration and Resources you will learn about General Education requirements, including English and math competency requirements. Whether you are decided or undecided about a major, you will work with an advisor who will help you select appropriate courses. Staff will be available to assist you with the process of registering for classes. At the end of the day you will leave campus with your fall schedule of classes and your University ID.

You may break it down at After Hours (a dance held every other Friday night in the Phoenix Club located in the University Union), attend a program in your residence hall, watch a men’s or women’s basketball game, spend time swimming or working out at the Kress Events Center, take in a show at the Weidner Center, or head to the union for some coffee, music, and conversation. These are just a few of examples of what you can do on the weekends here at UW-Green Bay.

Q-What types of things are there to do in the Green Bay community?
A-Many of the same activities that you would do at home Green Bay offers as well. Green Bay has three shopping malls and movie theatres.

A-UW-Green Bay is proud to have over 80 student organizations on campus. Students are members of service organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and Circle K. Some students get involved with leisure clubs like the Gamers Club or the Bowling Club. Others branch out in leadership and become active in Student Government Association. Faith based organizations are also popular on campus, such as Intervarsity Christian Fellowship and Campus Crusade for Christ. Some students become involved with groups of students in organizations that compliment their major; such as Student Wisconsin Education Association, the German Club or Dietetics Health and Wellness Organization.
