UWSP Transfer Students

 
How to Apply
  1. To apply to UW-Stevens Point as a transfer student, complete the UW System admission application form. You may apply online at https://apply.wisconsin.edu/ or by submitting a paper application to:
    1108 Fremont St
    UW-Stevens Point Office of Admissions
    Student Services Building
    UW-Stevens Point
    Stevens Point, WI 54481
    Paper applications can be obtained through Wisconsin high school guidance offices and UW System admissions offices, or downloaded at https://apply.wisconsin.edu/.

    NOTE: A non-refundable application fee of $44 is required if you are applying as a degree-seeking student to a UW System institution. The fee is not required if your last institution attended was a UW Colleges (freshman/sophomore) campus. If you are required to pay the fee, please include a check or money order for the appropriate amount (made payable to the University of Wisconsin) with your paper application form or follow the payment instructions for the electronic application.

  2. Ask your high school to send an official copy of your high school transcript directly to the UW-Stevens Point Office of Admissions: 102 Student Services Building, UW-Stevens Point, Stevens Point  WI  54481-3897.  (Please Note: We do accept electronic transcripts sent through Docufide and Connect.edu.)

  3. If you did not graduate from a recognized high school, you must submit evidence (i.e., official score report) of satisfactory completion of the requirements for a high school equivalency certificate or a diploma based on the General Education Development (GED) examination or the Wisconsin High School Equivalency Examination or other established criteria. You will also need to submit an official high school transcript from the last high school you attended.

  4. Ask each college (including other UW System campuses) and other post-secondary schools you have attended to send an official transcript directly to the UW-Stevens Point Office of Admissions. If you are currently enrolled in college, request that another official transcript also be sent after all current work is complete. We cannot accept transcripts that have been issued to the student.  (Please Note: We do accept electronic transcripts sent through Docufide
    and Connect.edu.)

Admission Requirements

Transfer applicants will be considered for admission based on the following admission standards. Standards may be adjusted based on the number of applications we receive and transfer enrollment limits. NOTE: UWSP does not have a specific application deadline. Applicants are permitted to enroll if they apply, are accepted and submit the $100 enrollment deposit before the transfer enrollment limit is reached.

Priority for admission will be given to applicants in the following two categories:

  1. Transfers with a cumulative grade point average of 2.25 or higher.

  2. Transfers from the UW Colleges (two-year campuses), MATC-Madison, MATC-Milwaukee, or Nicolet College with 54 transferable credits and a 2.00 or higher cumulative grade point average.

Transfers with a cumulative grade point average of 2.00-2.24 will be considered for admission on an individual basis.

Enrollment Deposit

A $100 enrollment deposit is required of all admitted transfer students who wish to guarantee their place in the transfer class. This deposit will be applied to your tuition fees.

Information regarding the enrollment deposit is sent with the letter of admission.
