New Freshmen

Choosing the college or university that's right for you isn't easy — we know. You're considering academic programs and professors, costs and campus locations, student organizations and athletics. And on top of it all, you're wondering what the school will expect from you. It's one of the most important decisions you'll make. Being accepted to Parkside is an invitation to make your decision one of your most fulfilling ones. 

DIRECT ADMIT WISCONSIN

The Direct Admit Wisconsin program launched for the class of 2025. UW-Parkside will proactively admit Wisconsin high school students, who have opted in, based on their high school GPA, academic course work, and graduate from a participating Wisconsin high school. Our goal is to open the program to all Wisconsin high schools in the upcoming years.

Our degree programs and involvement opportunities are tailored to prepare you to meet the needs of tomorrow's employers. 

AP, CLEP, and IB Equivalent Credits

College credit may be awarded for Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) coursework, and CLEP score results. An official AP score report, official CLEP score report, or official IB transcript must be sent to Parkside prior to attending.

 

Military Credits

If you have military experience, submit a copy of your DD214 and military transcript (to be awarded credit for military experience.)  
 

Formal Transfer Credit Evaluation

Once all application materials are submitted and your application is complete, an official transfer credit evaluation will be completed. All credits will be reviewed for transfer to UW-Parkside if the credits were completed a regionally accredited college or university.  If you are admitted to the university, you will be emailed a link to your transfer credit report.
 

Informal Transfer Credit Evaluation

Parkside offers two informal transfer assessment tools to help you make an informed decision. We recommend printing a record of all coursework referenced and contacting your transfer admissions counselor with questions.
