The admission process at the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse (UWL) involves several steps. Prospective students must submit an online application through the UW System Application or Common App, along with a non-refundable fee. High school transcripts and ACT/SAT scores are required, though test-optional policies may apply. Transfer students need to provide college transcripts.
Applications are reviewed holistically, considering GPA, coursework rigor, and extracurricular involvement. Deadlines vary by term, with priority given to early submissions. Admitted students receive an acceptance letter outlining next steps, including housing and orientation registration. International applicants must additionally submit English proficiency test scores.
