UW-Madison's fall semester commences today, and we have a few tips for both locals and students this fall semester.

Locals

Passing times | Traversing the isthmus is hard enough without the added obstacle of college pedestrians. If you're committed to dodging the crowds, check out the standard class hours to get an idea of when most classes will be released on any given day.

Homecoming | Expect busy bars and restaurants, and general rowdiness on campus the week of Monday, Oct. 2 for the 175th UW-Madison homecoming celebration.

Students

September course drop deadlines:

Wednesday, Sept. 13 | Drop a course without it showing up on your transcript as dropped
Friday, Sept. 15 | Drop a course and receive a full tuition adjustment
Friday, Sept. 29 | Drop a course and receive a 50% tuition adjustment
