Student resources page receives user-friendly update
In an effort to make our website more user-friendly, we have revamped our student resources page. We’ve replaced the drop-down menu with a clean and easy to read layout that gathers all our most requested resources in one place. Whether you are looking for academic calendars or textbooks, we have your answers from A-Z. Plus, we’ve collected a list of external resources that can help our students succeed with tips on writing, math, and more.
One new addition to the page is our Time Management Calculator. When planning your schedule for each term, it is important to consider how much time you have to devote to your coursework. This new tool lets you assess how much time you have to dedicate to your classes based on other commitments.
For this and other great tools, be sure to add the student resources page to your bookmarks.

Never give up: Platteville Pioneer powers through

Nicole Chambers truly embodies the phrase “you can accomplish whatever you put your mind to." She currently works as a project manager in training for the Missile Defense Agency’s branch location in Huntsville, Alabama, and has successfully led multiple projects despite her short time there.
“These projects were not only very successful, they made a huge difference in how one department is able to pull data at a moment’s notice to report out to senior management,” Chambers said. “I now have the career I never thought I would and am working alongside some truly amazing and wonderful people.” Read more
