Direct Admission - New for 2025
Embarking on your UW-Platteville journey just got easier with the Direct Admission program for Wisconsin students. Teaming up with numerous school districts across the state, we're streamlining the admission process for students starting with the Class of 2025.
If your high school is part of this initiative and you meet UW-Platteville’s admission standards, expect a letter from the Universities of Wisconsin in late July. This letter will outline the UW institutions where you've been admitted. Upon receiving it, simply complete the Direct Admit form to secure your direct admission offer.
For those not receiving a letter or attending a non-participating school, don't worry! You can still apply through the Universities of Wisconsin online application after August 1st.
Application review timeline
Students with a complete application file typically receive notice of admission within two weeks. Admission decisions are made on a rolling basis, and applications are processed as long as space is available or until enrollment goals have been met.
| Entry Term | Application Review Begins |
|---|---|
| Fall | August 1 |
| Spring | April 1 |
| Summer | December 1 |
If you run the numbers, the return on investment is insane. I feel like I grew a lot as a person through my four years at UW-Platteville, in a different way than if I had gone directly into the workforce.
UW-Platteville has allowed to me to be more ambitious in expanding my skill set while also providing opportunities to use my skills in the community.
