Learn About UW-Richland

Adult Students

UW-Richland welcomes adult students. In recent years up to 25% of UW-Richland students have been over the age of 21. Returning adult students are welcome and encouraged to participate in all UW-Richland clubs and organizations and adult students have opportunities to get together, too, at returning adult student special events.

"I thought there were a lot of barriers to furthering my education. I spoke to the advisors at UW-Richland, and I found out I was the only thing stopping me. Don't hold yourself back from this enriching educational experience!"
