What is College for Kids and Teens?College for Kids and Teens (CFK/CFT), through the School of Continuing Education (SCE), is a hands-on enrichment program for students entering grades K5-12 who have high academic potential, motivation and talent. Now in its 34th year, the program consists of one- and two-week classes in Creative Arts, Humanities/Social Sciences, Languages & Cultures, Math & Computers, and Science. Taught by UW system faculty or highly qualified and experienced instructors, all programs provide an “academic edge,” and class sizes are limited to 16 students unless otherwise noted.

Please note • Kindergartners must be five years old by June 10, and must have prior five-days-a-week school experience.• When registering for CFK and CFT, use fall 2014 grade levels.• Some classes are designed for a broader range of students (e.g. grades 6-12), and others are more specifically targeted –

look for grade levels listed next to each program number. • Select courses have a $5-25 computer lab or material fee included in the price.

Program Information

When and Where?Classes are held Mon.-Fri., June 18- Aug. 8 on the UWM campus, unless otherwise noted. Specific class dates/times are included in course descriptions.

Registration Policy Once your child or teen is registered there are no refunds or transfers. Refunds are made only for classes cancelled by CFK/CFT.

How Do I Register?Registration opens each year on Jan. 15. Call, fax in your registration, or go online to sce-kids.uwm.edu to enroll.

(Note: Mailed registrations add several days to the registration process and lessen the likelihood of availability in your desired class.)

Confirmation of Registration Your receipt and parental permission forms will be emailed to you for completion and return. If you do not provide an email address, you will receive them by mail. You may also visit sce-kids.uwm.edu to download permission forms right away. All participants are encouraged to have their own health insurance, as only limited secondary accident insurance is provided by the University.

Before and After CareTo make things easier for students and parents, we offer supervised care in the Union Terrace Room before and after the program day, for a minimal charge. Chaperoning children to or from class is included in the fee. Come early or stay late. You must sign up for the full week.
