Applying to Parkside
Ready to start your admissions process? We're ready to help! Whether you're new to Parkside, or returning to complete a degree program, we'll walk you through everything you need to know to apply, from submitting transcripts to registering for classes.
Starting November 30, 2023, we will be switching multifactor authentication systems from Duo to OKTA. Follow these instructions here to enroll and set up OKTA on your device(s). If you have any questions or concerns about setting up OKTA, please contact Campus Technology Services at (262) 595-2444.
Admissions Deadlines
Parkside operates on a rolling admission basis and, as such, we reserve the right to stop accepting applications when we believe the enrollment capacities for the campus can be satisfied by the number of students already admitted. We encourage you to complete your application early.
Parkside anticipates closing admission for new freshmen and transfer students no later than August 15 for Fall semester and January 15 for Spring semester. All application materials (including the application, transcripts, fees, test scores, etc.) need to arrive to admissions before the end of business each of these days.
