Center for International Education — Schofield Hall 3
It’s time to take your education across the globe. The Center for International Education (CIE) is the hub for all things international at UW-Eau Claire. Stop by the CIE to submit study abroad forms, ask questions about the intensive English program, register for the Chinese Program, or learn about hosting a student from another country.
“The CIE office in Schofield made my study abroad experience easy and stress free. They were there to answer questions before I left, they answered questions of mine when I was halfway across the world, and they continue to reach out to me even though my study abroad experience is over. They are great and want to see everyone have the experience of a lifetime.” — Jordan Marquardt, Social Work
First floor Schofield
Schofield Auditorium — 1st floor Schofield Hall
The Schofield Auditorium is the largest fixed-seating venue on campus. Until 1960, the auditorium was known as Old Main Auditorium, which was originally part of the Eau Claire State Normal School building that opened in 1916. From a cappella concerts to orientation, lectures, artist series and The Forum, this venue does it all.
Admissions — Schofield Hall 111
It’s inevitable that during your time at UW-Eau Claire, you’ll see students in the blue-and-gold-striped rugby shirts leading packs of prospective students and their parents through our campus. Those students are our campus ambassadors and they work through the Admissions Office to show future Blugolds around the university.
Office of Financial Aid — Schofield Hall 115
We all know that money struggles are real in college. Financial aid can seem daunting and like a bunch of paperwork. A lot of students don’t know that they can meet with people in the Office of Financial Aid in person to work through their paperwork. If family situations change, you can work with someone face-to-face to see what changes might happen to your financial aid instead of trying to work through it alone.
Business Office — Schofield Hall 108 & 110
Do you have questions about a bill that you got in the mail? Need to pick up a refund check or pay a parking ticket? Then you need to go to the business office in Schofield Hall. Whether you have questions about a tuition payment or you want to buy a parking pass for the semester, visit the Business Office.

Visit the service learning office on the second floor of Schofield and learn about how you can give back to the local community or a community abroad.
Career Services — Schofield Hall 230
A lot of students’ biggest worries in school are that they will have a hard time finding a job after graduation. Fear not! This is why Career Services exists. The staff at career services offers mock interviews for students; helps with resume building, career fairs, and can connect students to jobs and internships in the Eau Claire area.
Old Library:
The Old Library can be a confusing place if you are not familiar with it. It is attached to both Schofield and the McIntyre library and is filled with several helpful resources for students. Some of the resources the Old Library provides include:
LTS Help Desk — Old Library 1106
Do you need help with D2L, Camp S, navigating the university’s web page, or just how to use a new software program for a class? Then you need to go to LTS Help Desk in the Old Library, or better yet use the LTS Online Help page or just call extension 5711. LTS is a great resource to use if you need any help with your technical devices.
“When I got locked out of my university account, I went straight to LTS and they helped me fix the problem in a matter of minutes. They are a valuable resource for students on this campus and everyone should know where they’re located.” — Hanna Johnson, senior.

McIntyre Library:
Whether you’re going to the library for a nap or to study for that dreaded exam on a Monday, the McIntyre library is full of hidden and helpful gems for your every need. But what are some things we don’t already know about the library?
Librarians are at your service for your research needs. The Research and Instruction section of the library will connect you with the librarian which specializes in a specific topic. For example, Eric Jennings, Instruction and Outreach Librarian, is specific to psychology courses and will help with all of the questions you may ask.
Check out more than just books. Items the library has to loan including DVDs and CDs, Kindles, flash-drives, SLR-cameras, computers, you can reserve a study rooms and so much more. To reserve or explore other equipment, stop in to search the library’s impressive collection, or search here.
The library has a basement. Not only are there couches on the fifth floor, there is also a cozy and quiet area in the basement, complete with multiple couches, vending machines and a computer lab. Plus, if you’re looking to get your mind off of that exam you have to study for, there are plenty of children’s books to get you through the night.
Beanbags and an exercise room help the stress. Yeah, we’ve all been there — in the library for over six hours and you just need a break. Luckily, the third and fifth floors are there to help. The third floor has a fitness area for a quick study break, and the fifth floor has a few beanbags perfect for your power-nap.
“I love all that our library has to offer,” says senior Emily Raasch. “We all spend so much time there… and it’s so great that we have the services every student can use.”
