The University of Wisconsin–La Crosse operates on a rolling admissions basis for most undergraduate programs, with priority given to applications received by March 1 for the fall semester and December 1 for the spring semester. Graduate program deadlines vary by department, typically falling between February 1 and April 1 for fall admission.
Prospective students should verify specific deadlines for their intended program, as some may have earlier cutoffs. Applications are submitted through the UW System Application or Common App, with supporting materials due shortly after. Early submission is encouraged to ensure consideration for scholarships and housing.
