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. 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. Graduation Requirements continued on page 2. Page1of5
