4. Admission to the Social Work Program

The Social Work Program operates under a selective admissions policy. The policy is based on the need to maintain a program of excellence in the classroom and to assure availability of quality internship placements. The Department of Social Work reserves the right to admit a limited number of students each semester. Meeting the minimum standards does not guarantee a student will be admitted to the major.

Social Work is a professional discipline on the baccalaureate level, and, thus, admissions and retention processes are implemented and strictly followed. Students are evaluated on a regular basis. Students interested in earning a Bachelor of Social Work Degree must first be admitted to the Social Work major. Enrollment in selected upper division social work courses is restricted to students who have been formally admitted to the major. This formal application to the major is the first step in meeting requirements for graduation with a B.S.W. degree. A second application process and meeting additional eligibility requirements are necessary for admission to internship (SW 481). Students with any concerns regarding eligibility are urged to consult with their academic adviser. Students will be asked to sign a statement that they have read and agreed to abide by the National Association of Social Workers� Code of Ethics. Students may appeal a denial of admission to the major or internship by following procedures outlined in the Social Work Student Handbook or the Social Work Internship Manual, as applicable.

Application Process and Procedures

1. Students seeking admission are required to complete an application form available from the department office and must have completed the following courses prior to applying: Idis 100, and SW 188, 220, 285.

2. Students must have earned: (1) a minimum GPA of 2.50 in Idis 100 and in both courses with the SW prefix; (2) a minimum grade of C in Idis 100, SW 220 and 285; and (3) an S in SW 188.

3. Students must be in good academic standing in the semester in which they apply and must have a total GPA of 2.50 or higher. This includes courses taken at UW-Eau Claire and courses transferred from other colleges.

4. Any student who withdraws from the social work major at UW-Eau Claire or who does not take classes at UW-Eau Claire for two or more sequential semesters must reapply for admission into the program.

5. Applications must be submitted by 4:30pm on the Friday of the second week of classes.

6. A completed application will contain: (1) Social Work Admissions Application; (2) one copy of the most recent UW-Eau Claire transcript; (3) a completed criminal background check must be on file.

7. Students may repeat a grade below C in Idis 100 and/or SW 220 and/or SW 285 according to University guidelines. Repeat of course(s) must be completed (not current) for any such courses before application for admission will be processed.
