Placement Testing Information
Eligibility Requirements
Eligibility requirements are checked with registration (Step 2)
If you are a high school student and meet at least one of the following requirements, you may enroll in CAPP:
- Class rank in the top 30 percent
- GPA of 2.75 or above (on a 4.0 scale)
Any specific course prerequisites are also required.
If you don’t meet the minimum requirements but the CAPP class is of special interest to you, your teacher has the option to sign you into the class with extra recommendation. Students don’t have to do anything extra for this, the teacher will add their recommendation to your registration after you submit it.
Credit Overload Policy
CAPP students can take no more than 18 credits in a semester per UW Oshkosh policy (full year course credits count towards fall and spring semester credit loads). Credit Overload Forms must be submitted by the student and approved by the high school guidance counselor and CAPP Director for taking more than 18 credits (apx. 5 courses).
