The Center for Adult and Returning Students (CARS) is a resource for prospective and enrolled adult and nontraditional students, as well as faculty and staff at UW-Parkside. Our mission is to promote and advocate for adult and nontraditional students across campus.

Am I an adult or nontraditional student?

Do you work a part-time or full-time job? Do you have important priorities, like family or caregiving responsibilities, that sometimes compete with your educational goals? Do you have extensive professional or life experience that informs your coursework? If you answered yes to any of the above, the Center for Adult and Returning Students is here to support you throughout your time at UW-Parkside!
