We want to make sure your application goes smoothly. The following steps will guide you through the process. If you have a question, call a friendly enrollment adviser at 1-877-895-3276 or send an email to learn@uwex.edu. We’ll be happy to help!
Application Deadlines
Sending us your application materials no later than one month before courses begin ensures the smoothest admission and enrollment process. We may accommodate late applications that are complete up to a week before the semester start. Additionally, we will accept applications up to the first day of the semester, however, admission and enrollment in the program at this point may prove difficult for ensuring a smooth transition into your courses with no guarantees that you will be able to enroll in courses that same semester.
Starting your application early will help ensure you have plenty of time to gather required materials (such as transcripts), transfer credits, apply for financial aid, and complete the University of Wisconsin System Online Admission Application.
See our Course Schedule page for course start dates.
