Shared Vision Statement of the University of Wisconsin Centers tudents, faculty, staff and administrators of the UW Centers, in partnership with area res Sidents, form a community of learners. Together we share the responsibility of promoting the mission of the University of Wisconsin to expand and disseminate knowledge and enrich the culture. Within the supportive and challenging environments of the centers, students of all ages and backgrounds are prepared for advanced educational and professional achieve ment, lifelong learning, leadership, and responsible citizenship. In order to realize the mission, all members of the UW Centers community have a respon sibility to promote and a right to expect: Respect for Persons Basic to respect is the freedom of inquiry and expression-the right to be heard and the obligation to listen. Respect is mutual; it is founded on the recognition that members of the community are multi-faceted with many gifts and challenges and come from diverse cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. The campus environment should be free from intimidation and harassment. Disagreement within the community is expected to be resolved through a process of mutual respect. Personal Integrity All community members must meet high standards of personal and academic integrity. Recognizing the value of others' time and effort, we strive to be accurate, to be timely, and to evaluate critically. Views should be presented honestly; taking credit where credit is not due contradicts the goals of learning. Individual Development Initiative, critical thinking, the pursuit of truth and the exchange of ideas are essential to any academic experience. Community members should be committed to continuous improvement in themselves and others. All should be prepared to devote whatever time and effort is necessary both to educate and be educated. As the learning community fosters self development, it should provide ample and accurate advising. Opportunities for profession al development and training are essential for individual growth. Considerate Assessment The learning environment requires considerate assessment. The criteria for assessment should be mutually acknowledged, public and unambiguous. Assessment should be ongoing, focusing not only on individual community members but also on the educational process itself. The community helps its members to identify and assess their various responsibilities. Responsive Institution Each member of the community has a right and a responsibility to contribute to the success of the institution. The university should provide a responsive curriculum, smooth transfer procedures, and fair grievance processes and policies. All segments should be involved in budgeting and other long-range planning. Leaders seek and respect input gained through the shared governance process, so that decisions are made in the best interests of all members. Institutional and campus policies contribute to the success of all members of the community. 11 Contents page How to use this catalog: FreguentlM Asl<ed Questions iv Although you are enrolled at a specific University of Wisconsin Admission 1 Centers campus, the policies and Policy; Requirements; Application; procedures are the same at all of Guaranteed Transfer; Tuition and Fees the 13 UWC campuses throughout Student Financial Aid 7 Wisconsin.
