Alumni Advising

Students cheering at graduation in Camp Randall stadium

As a UW-Madison alum, you have access to all the advising services the Center for Pre-Health Advising offers for as long as you need them! 

Whether you are progressing on a path you planned as an undergraduate or shifting to a field you discovered late in college or after graduating, we are eager to work with you as you continue to take steps toward a health profession. It is not uncommon for people to decide on a health profession after gaining experience in another field.

Let’s talk!

Access to Other Resources After Graduation

Access to CPHA will never go away, but some things will change after you graduate. 

  • Your wisc.edu email will be deactivated after 6 months. 
  • You will also lose access to your Google drive, Box, Qualtrics, and Zoom accounts.
  • You will not lose access to Canvas, so be sure to enroll in one of our application courses that is right for you!
