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.

Academic Scholarships
Muskingum College offers academic scholarships to qualified students as part of the overall financial aid program. All applicants for admission are automatically reviewed at the time of acceptance for academic awards on the basis of the secondary school record (grade-point average in academic courses, class rank, strength of curriculum) and standardized test results. Each year a small number of entering students are selected for the prestigious John Glenn Scholarship – a full-tuition award.

The Academic Scholarship Chart depicts baseline awards for entering first-year students before enhancements.

Academic Scholarships Available to entering students in 2009-10
John Glenn Scholarships: Full-tuition
Presidential Scholarships: $10,000 to $15,000 per year
Faculty Scholarships: $7,000 to $9,500 per year
Science Division Scholarships: $1,000 to $2,000 per year

The value of a student’s academic scholarship can be enhanced through an excellent performance in Scholarship Days, Muskingum’s on-campus scholarship program to be held on 3 Saturdays in January/February of a student’s senior year in high school. (1/31/2009, 2/7/2009, 2/14/2009) These enhancements are typically $500 or $1,500 per year above the base scholarship level determined by the secondary school record, though some may be larger. Students must take part in the scholarship program to be considered for the John Glenn Scholarship. Click here for more details on Scholarship Days.

Returning Student Scholarships $5,000 per year
Awarded to continuing students who were not awarded an academic scholarship as entering students, but who have achieved at least a 3.4 cumulative grade-point average after a minimum of two full-time semesters’ work at Muskingum.

Science Division Scholarships $1,000-$2,000 per year
are directed toward outstanding students pursuing a degree in the natural and physical sciences. A separate application and interview are required.

Transfer students are considered for Presidential and Faculty Scholarships, and for Special Acknowledgement Awards based on previous college work and, in some cases, the secondary school record. Transfer students may also apply for Science Division and Performance Scholarships.

Endowed Departmental Scholarships
Awarded to enrolled students as part of Scholarship Recognition Day held in the spring of each year. Students are selected by faculty in academic departments for awards funded by donors to Muskingum.

Students must maintain a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.0 in order to ensure automatic renewal of all academic scholarships. Please read the Scholarship & Award Provisions so that you are aware of all requirements for keeping your scholarship.
