View the UW-Platteville Admission Guidelines
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.
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.
