Admitted Students

1. Admitted students are here to pursue a degree. Admitted students may be part-time or full-time. They may carry as little as 1 credit per semester or up to 18 credits per semester.



2. Admitted students are eligible for the regular sources of financial aid (grants, loans, college work-study). Most aid programs require that students be enrolled at least half-time, which is 6 credits. Students should complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and contact the Financial Aid Office in Schofield 115, 715-836-3373, to discuss individual circumstances.



3. Admitted students will have the opportunity to pre-register for classes. Priority registration is based on the total number of credits earned.



4. Admitted students are associated with a specific UW-Eau Claire Catalogue; according to the year admission was granted. The catalogue provides the list of specific courses and requirements you need to complete in order to receive a degree from UW-Eau Claire. Admitted students are assigned an academic adviser who assists them each semester with course selections and degree planning.



5. To apply for admission:


• Complete an Application for Admission form. If you have questions, call the Admissions Office in Schofield 112, 715-836-5415. Send a check for the $35 application fee (if applicable) along with your application form. The fee is good for one year (two semesters and a summer session).



• Instruct your high school and/or G.E.D. institution to forward your Official Transcript directly to our Admissions Office in Schofield Hall 112. If you have attended any other post-secondary institutions, i.e., another college, Chippewa Valley Technical College, etc., instruct each of these institutions to forward an official transcript to Admissions too. (Note: If you already hold a bachelors degree, you will only need to submit the college transcript.)



• If you are seeking Re-Admission to UWEC after an absence of a semester or more, you also will need to complete an Application for Admission too. However, you will not need to pay the $35 application fee nor need to send your transcripts to the Admissions Office, unless you attended another institution in between. If you were absent for one semester you will remain in the same catalogue. If you were absent from UWEC for 2 or more semesters, you will begin under the new catalogue.

If you are submitting an application for admission after the priority deadline, include the following clause: (in a separate note)

"In the event that admission cannot be granted, please cancel my application."

Adding this clause keeps your option open to attend as a Special student in case you are denied the option to attend as an Admitted student.
