Your high school education is a very important part of our application process. We require that all incoming freshmen meet or exceed a minimum number of courses during high school. Another important part of the application is your test scores from the ACT or the SAT I.

Admitted students (including those transferring into UWP) are required to submit a $100 enrollment deposit as soon as possible to ensure a place in the freshmen class. The deposit is refundable until May 1st.
Do I Have To Take Tests?

We use standardized test results as one of our criteria for admission. The UW-System requires all new freshmen applicants to submit the results of either the ACT or SAT I for review. The ACT is our preferred test, however you will not be advantaged or disadvantaged in our admission process by taking either test.

If you are 25 years old or older, this requirement is waived.
If you are considering immediately enrolling into our general engineering program, you must have a mathematics ACT score of 22 or higher (SAT I 520 or higher). If you don’t meet this requirement, you will be placed in a pre-engineering program until you complete calculus and analytic geometry with a letter grade of “C” or higher.
If You Were Home Schooled

If you were home schooled, there are several things you must include with your application, in order to process your application properly:
official transcripts from any/all schools attended
transcript from courses taken at home and grades, signed by your parent who provided your education, to verify your curriculum.
official ACT/SAT score reports
other information related to the student’s activities
What If I Don’t Meet Your Traditional Admission Requirements?

If you don’t meet our traditional admission requirements, we still encourage you to apply for admission. Your application will be evaluated on an individual basis.

If you have met college preparatory unit requirements, have demonstrated a stronger academic performance later in your high school career, are socially or economically disadvantaged, have verifiable disabilities, have demonstrated academic promise, are a nontraditional aged student (25 and older), or have demonstrated significant leadership in your school or in the community, you may be considered for admission UW-Platteville. If this is the case, supporting letters of recommendation are required from selected teachers
Application Fee

An application fee of $44.00 is charged for every UW-System Undergraduate Application. If you are completing a paper application for admission, please include a check or money order for $44.00 with your application. If you submit an application on-line the $44.00 application fee may be charged to a credit card. Please note that if the application fee is not paid, the application will not be processed.
