Complete your application online using the University of Wisconsin System Online Application for Admission. Requirements may vary based on your educational background.
Important reminders:
Your Degree
Though you’ll complete all your courses online, the degree you receive will be granted from the UW institution through which your program is offered. In the event that multiple institutions offer your chosen program, you will be required to select a “home campus” from which to receive educational credits and your degree. Please keep in mind that certain institutions may have different admissions guidelines, depending on which program(s) you are interested in pursuing.
Application Fee
A nonrefundable $50 application fee ($60 for UW-Madison undergraduates) with each application for admission. The application fee is good for one year (two semesters and a summer session). The nonrefundable graduate application fee is $56. However, that fee is NOT required if the last institution you attended was a two-year UW Colleges campus or you are applying as a special student. The fee IS required if you are transferring between University of Wisconsin System four-year campuses or if you have never attended a University of Wisconsin System campus.
Transcripts/Test Scores
Official transcripts of your complete high school record and transcripts from all postsecondary institutions you have attended are also required. Contact your high school and each previously attended institution to request that official transcripts be sent directly to your chosen home campus. If you earned a GED/HSED, an official copy of the qualifying scores must also be submitted from the testing agency. If you have an associate degree or equivalent coursework, the ACT or SAT is not required.
