Admissions for Online Degree Programs
UW Oshkosh online programs accept admissions applications year-round. ACT and placement exams are not required for these programs. Students who are transferring credits must have a minimum GPA of 2.0.
There is a $50 application fee. It is waived for undergraduate students if you attended a UW System two-year college or if you previously attended UW Oshkosh and didn’t transfer to another college or university.
*Please note: Some degree programs have specific admissions requirements in addition to the University admissions requirements. See each specific program page for those additional requirements.
