All in Wisconsin! Together the Universities of Wisconsin provide a place for all Wisconsin high school students to access a world-class public education. The Wisconsin Direct Admit program fundamentally changes how we achieve that goal, all with seamless admission in mind. The Wisconsin Direct Admit program will launch starting with the Fall 2024 high school senior class. Participating UW Universities 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. During the first year of the program, the University of Wisconsin System will solicit participation from select Wisconsin high schools with the goal of opening the program to all Wisconsin high schools in the upcoming years.
How Your High School Can Participate
The University of Wisconsin is looking for high schools interested in leading the way and working innovatively and collaboratively with the University of Wisconsin System to create a more seamless and accessible college admissions process. Currently, the Wisconsin Direct Admit program is in its first phase of rollout. During Phase 1, the University of Wisconsin System will solicit participation from Wisconsin High Schools that are current users of the Infinite Campus or Skyward student information system. If your district is an Infinite Campus or Skyward user and you are interested in participating in the Phase 1 rollout of Wisconsin Direct Admit you are encouraged to attend a focus group session led by the co-chair of the Wisconsin Direct Admit implementation team. During this session you will receive an overview of the Wisconsin Direct Admit program as well as have an opportunity to ask questions and learn next steps on how you can opt-in. District Administrators are highly encouraged to attend these sessions along with district staff.
Register for an upcoming virtual focus group session.
