Welcome to the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh

Preparing for college is an exciting time of transition for both students and their families. By staying informed and connected to your student, parents and other family members can help ease the transition and play a part in their student’s success. We know that parents of first-year college students have a lot of questions. We recommend that you become familiar with all that UW Oshkosh has to offer by taking some time to review this guide.

More information for parents and family members is available online at www.uwosh.edu/home/parents-and-family, including tips for parents, recommended reading, frequently asked questions and other resources.
We also invite you to visit your student on campus at UW Oshkosh. In particular, parents often enjoy heading to Oshkosh each fall for the following campus and community-wide events:
Fall Fest on the Fox:  A two-day festival of recreation and entertainment held annually in September. Activities include a fabulous Fall Fest Fish Fry with music and horse-drawn carriage tours of campus, a hearty Breakfast with the Chancellor and the Oshkosh Community Dragonboat Race and Festival held at the Leach Amphitheather  www.uwosh.edu/fallfest
