Admission Requirements
Students must apply for admission and be accepted to
UW-Richland before registering for classes.
Admissions Policy
Anyone who desires a university education will be considered for admission to the University
of Wisconsin Colleges. Prospective students should apply early. Certain applicants who meet the
minimum admission requirements (e.g., those who rank in the bottom quarter of their high school
graduating class or hold a certificate of GED) may have their admission deferred to a future term.
If you are admitted and your high school record, placement test scores, or other previous academic
performance indicates that you may have difficulty with university work, you will be required to
participate in special programs aimed at preparing you to succeed at university coursework. For
more information regarding high risk students see
