International Students

The School of Health Sciences and Wellness does not conditionally admit international students for graduate study. International students should contact the International Students & Scholars Office (ISSO) to apply for non-conditional graduate admission.

100% online programs are not eligible for F-1 student visas. Homeland Security has determined that one does not need to be physically present in the U.S. to study in a fully online program. As a result, UWSP cannot offer F-1 status for enrollment in our Community and Organizational Leadership or Sustainable and Resilient Food Systems master’s programs.

Graduate Special Status

If you wish to take graduate courses but do not wish to pursue a master’s degree at UW-Stevens Point, you may register as a student with graduate special status. To attend UW-Stevens Point as a student with graduate special status, you must hold a bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution. You do not need to complete a formal application process. You will be granted graduate special status when you register for classes. 

As a graduate special student you can enroll in graduate-level courses and receive graduate credit for teacher certification requirements or for personal enrichment. A maximum of 9 credits can apply toward a master’s degree provided they are approved by your adviser and fit within the seven-year time period. If you decide to pursue a master’s degree, it is in your best interest to change your status to graduate regular as soon as possible.
