The University of Wisconsin – La Crosse operates on a rolling admissions basis for most undergraduate programs, but priority deadlines apply. Fall semester applications should be submitted by March 1 for guaranteed consideration, while the spring semester deadline is December 1. Graduate programs have varying deadlines, typically ranging from February to June for fall enrollment.
Prospective students are encouraged to apply early, as some programs may close admissions once capacity is reached. Supporting materials, such as transcripts and test scores, must arrive by the specified deadlines. International students should allow additional time for visa processing and are advised to apply at least three months prior to the start of the term.
