Admission Requirements

Students must apply for admission and be accepted to UW-Sheboygan before registering for classes.

Admission Policy

Anyone who desires a university education will be considered for admission to the University of Wisconsin Colleges. Prospective students should apply early. Certain applicants who meet the minimum admission requirements (e.g., those who rank in the bottom quarter of their high school graduating class or hold a certificate of GED) may have their admission deferred to a future term.

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 programs aimed at preparing you to succeed at university coursework. Check out these special programs.
