FAQs
Here are answers to common questions about the bootcamps.
304 and 305 combined are equivalent to 306. We split 306 into two courses (304 and 305) to allow students to take either the first or second organic chemistry lab separately. While there may be slight differences in the experiments depending on the professor, the overall experience and course outcomes are the same. 304/305 is offered in Green Bay, while 306 is offered in Manitowoc.
If you need assistance with financial aid, please contact UW-Green Bay Student Services Center at (920) 465-2111 or SSC@uwgb.edu for guidance. It is important to note that, if you are attending UW-Green Bay as a special student while receiving financial aid from your home institution, you should contact your home institution first to discuss getting a consortium agreement. Under a consortium agreement, students may take courses at a school other than the home institution and have those courses count toward the degree or certificate at the home school.
