ADMISSIONS

Anyone who desires a University education will be considered for admission to a University of Wisconsin Center. Prospective students should apply early.

If you are admitted and your high school record, placement test scores, or other previous academic performance indicates that you may have difficulty with university work, you will be required to participate in special classes aimed at remedying these difficulties.

To be admitted to the UW Colleges as a new freshman you must:

  • 1. Have graduated from a recognized high school, have a certificate of GED, or present other evidence of ability to begin university work
  • 2. Have completed 17 college preparatory credits distributed in three categories as follows:
  • Core-13 credits

  • English 4 credits
    Mathematics 3 credits (algebra and courses leading to calculus)
    Social Science 3 credits
    Natural Science 3 credits
  • Specified Electives-3 credits

  • Chosen from the above areas or foreign language
  • Other Electives--4 credits

  • Chosen from the above core areas, fine arts, foreign language, computer science, and other academic areas. Those who have earned the certificate of GED are assumed to have met these requirements.
  • 3. Take the American College Test (ACT). The ACT scores must be received by the UW Center Office of Student Services before you will be permitted to register for classes. ACT may not be required for those age 21 or over.
  • If you fail to meet these requirements, you may appeal to the Director of Admissions for an exemption. Particular consideration will be given to applicants on the basis of minority group status, physical or learning disability, U. S. Armed Forces veteran status, age group, incarceration, or economic or educational disadvantage.
