Recruiter visits - Our recruiter can talk to interested students directly either in a classroom setting, during lunch hours at a table or during career fairs, conferences or other events.
Other presentations - If you have a topic in mind about an area of study, scholarships, college readiness or more, we can connect you to faculty and Student Services staff with the expertise you need.

ACT Strategies

The Office of Continuing Education at UW-Rock County offers a series of courses to prepare high school students for taking the ACT exam. These courses have been shown to increase a student's score by several points between the pre-test and the post-test. Find out more.

Application Workshops

These workshops help students complete the University of Wisconsin- Online Admission Application. All students are welcome to attend if they would like more information on how to complete the online application. It’s not a workshop to actually complete the application. It’s a workshop to go through the application process and inform students on what information is needed to complete the application and what kinds of questions are asked. The workshop is open to all students who are interested in applying to any institutions within the University of Wisconsin System. UW-Rock County is part of the University of Wisconsin System, but students do not have to be interested in UW-Rock County to attend the workshop. These workshops are sometimes offered before the Campus Previews.
