Events IconHelp for Students During COVID-19 Outbreak

Well, this isn’t quite the welcome back from Spring Break that your Marinette campus faculty and staff anticipated. We’re glad to see all of you on email or video-conference, and we want you to know that we’re still here for you. UW-Green Bay has mustered several helpful resources to support students in this difficult time. Don’t be afraid to ask for help!
  • If you are having any type of financial hardship: UW-Green Bay is doing all it can to support students who are experiencing financial stress. Please e-mail GBOSS@uwgb.edu if you have a sudden change in your financial position as a result of the Coronavirus. We have emergency funds and can help!
  • If you need free Coronavirus-related health care: Students may utilize Prevea Virtual Care for $0 for COVID-19 related concerns. Or call Prevea Health Nurse Triage at 888-277-3832 free of charge 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
  • If you need free counseling: Campus counseling services have been put on hold. Instead, brief phone counseling sessions are available for free. Make or cancel an appointment at 920-465-2380.
  • If you need free Microsoft Office software: You may have noticed that MS Office 365 Online has been a bit clunky due to all the extra traffic. Get around the delays by downloading Microsoft Office for free! Visit www.uwgb.edu/remote/learning-remotely/ and click on the appropriate Office link for your platform.
  • If you need free wi-fi: Spectrum is offering 60 days of free broadband/wi-fi for new customers with college students in the household. Click here to learn more.
