Submit the UW System application, available online at: https://apply.wisconsin.edu. Send official transcripts from all post‐secondary institutions attended. Send official high school transcripts if you have not already earned your bachelor’s degree at the time you apply. If any Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate tests were taken while in high school and received a score of 3 or higher, a copy of your score report is required to be considered for college credit. Admissions Requirements The Transfer Admission Requirements state that you are likely to be admitted in good standing if you have a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or greater. A comprehensive review is completed and everything, including your applicant statement, is taken into consideration when a decision is made. Students transferring having already earned their associate degree with a minimum 2.0‐
2.5 cumulative GPA may be considered for admission on a probationary basis. Major Specific Requirements: 1. Transfer students will be admitted to the Computer Engineering program if at least one of the following three requirements are met: Both "Test A" AND "Test B" below are satisfied: Test A Student must have an overall ACT score of 22 or better, or student must be in the upper 40% of high school graduating class. Test B Student must have an ACT MATH score of 22 or better. 2.
Student has transferred either of the following Calculus courses in with a grade of "B" or better (Note: a grade of "B‐" is not sufficient): MATH‐153 Calculus I or MATH‐156 Calculus and Analytic Geometry I 3.
Student has transferred the following sequence of courses with an overall grade point average for these courses of 2.0 (on a 4.0 scale) or higher: MATH‐153 Calculus I (or MATH‐156 Calculus and Analytic Geometry I) MATH‐154 Calculus II (or MATH‐157 Calculus and Analytic Geometry II) PHYS‐291 Statics (or PHYS‐281 University Physics I) CHEM‐135 College Chemistry I If an applicant does not meet any of the above requirements for admission to the aforementioned programs, but does meet the requirements for admission to the university; they may enroll without as Pre‐Engineering and qualify for the engineering major by meeting either requirement 2 or 3 by completing the appropriate courses at UW‐Stout.

UW Stout Graduation Requirements All students graduating from UW‐Stout must also meet Racial and Ethnic Studies as well as Global Perspective requirements. Students transferring from one of the UW Colleges having already earned their Associate of Arts & Sciences degree have these two categories automatically met. Students that have not completed their degree at the time they transfer will have to meet the requirements for the Racial & Ethnic Studies and Global Perspective areas identified below. UW‐Stout courses that meet these requirements are listed in the UW‐Stout General Education Requirements (choose GE/RES/GLP course list [PDF]) approved listings on page 7‐9. Students are encouraged to meet these requirements with courses that also apply to either general education or major requirements. Potentially a single course could apply to 2‐3 program requirements. Racial & Ethnic Studies (RES): Six credits are required with a minimum of three credits from the Category RES‐A course list. The remaining three credits may be from either the RES‐A or RES‐B course list. At the UW Colleges courses that may meet some of these requirements are listed with the ES (Ethnic Studies) designation. Courses that may apply to this requirement are courses that transfer as equivalencies to courses listed in the UW‐Stout General Education Requirements (choose GE/RES/GLP course list [PDF]) approved listings on page 7. Global Perspective (GLP): Completed by either completing a program of university‐approved work or study abroad, or completing six credits of courses approved as fulfilling the global perspective requirement. Courses that may apply to this requirement are courses that transfer as equivalencies to courses listed in the UW‐Stout General Education Requirements (choose GE/RES/GLP course list [PDF]) approved listings on page 8‐9. General Education Requirements begin on page 3. Page2of5
