STEP 1:
Complete the UW System application for admissions

Visit apply.wisconsin.edu to start your application online!

Select “UW Oshkosh, Fox Cities Campus” as your desired campus.

  • Fall 2022 and Spring 2022 applications are available online and are currently being accepted.

Paper applications may also be obtained from any high school guidance office in Wisconsin or by contacting the UW Oshkosh Admissions Office, P.O. Box 2423, Oshkosh, WI 54903-2423.

 

STEP 2: Send an Official Transcript of All High School Coursework

Students may apply for admission by providing transcripts from a recognized high school showing coursework completed through their junior year. If available, official high school class rank should be provided on the transcript.

New this year, students are allowed to submit either an official or unofficial copy of their transcripts during the application process. It should be noted however, that if admitted, we require an official copy to be sent to the Admissions Office.

A recognized high school is one which is accredited either by a regional accrediting association or is recognized and accredited by a state department of public instruction or its equivalent.

Applicants who have not graduated from a recognized high school must provide evidence of satisfactory completion of the requirements for a high school equivalency certificate or a diploma from a recognized high school, school system or state department of public instruction based on a Graduation Equivalency Diploma (GED) examination and other established criteria.

Students may be conditionally accepted prior to high school graduation. Upon graduation, all accepted students must provide an official final transcript indicating a graduation date and successful completion of all required coursework. Failure to successfully complete any of the required units will result in revocation of admission.

Home school students are required to submit an official transcript of all course work completed and scores from either the ACT or SAT I standardized tests.

 

STEP 3: Send an Official ACT or SAT I Profile
This step is not required for Spring or Fall 2022 applicants. 

Students who list UW Oshkosh as one of their receiving schools when registering for either exam will automatically have their scores reported by the testing agency. The ACT code for all three campuses of UW Oshkosh is 4674. The SAT code is 1916.

Students who did not request that UW Oshkosh receive their ACT or SAT I profile should contact American College Testing, (319) 337-1000 for ACT scores or the College Board at (800) 728-7267 for SAT I scores.

UW Oshkosh will use the highest composite test score submitted by the student for admission consideration.
