How to Apply
- International students should contact the UWSP
International
Students and Scholars Office at (715) 346-3849 for
graduate application materials.
- To apply for admission to graduate study at the University
of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, please submit the following:
- A completed graduate application. List
all
colleges and/or universities you have attended. You may
obtain a graduate application by calling the UW-Stevens
Point Admissions Office at (715) 346-2441, by writing the
Admissions Office at 102 Student Services Center, Stevens
Point, WI 54481, or by filling out the
information request form. You may also apply by using
the UW System electronic graduate application at
https://apply.wisconsin.edu/ or you may download and
print the graduate application
here.
- $56 graduate application fee. Wisconsin statutes
require that the application fee accompany your application
for admission. The fee is nonrefundable, and your
application will not be processed until the application fee
has been received. Checks or money orders should be made
payable to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. If you
are applying electronically you can pay with a credit card
when you submit your application.
- Official transcripts from all colleges/universities
attended (both undergraduate and graduate). Arrange to
have official transcripts from each institution you attended
sent directly to the Admissions Office.
If you attended UWSP as an admitted student in the past, you
do not need to request your UWSP transcripts from us. We
will request UWSP transcripts on your behalf.
The transcript from the college from which you graduated must
indicate that you earned a bachelor's degree. Transcripts
from each institution are required before your application
can be processed. (Please Note: We do accept electronic
transcripts sent through Docufide and Connect.edu.)
- Successful admission to graduate study requires admission to
a specific graduate degree program. A copy of your completed
application, as well as a copy of each of your transcripts, will
be sent to the program coordinator of the graduate program you
have chosen. Many of our graduate degree programs require
additional materials such as letters of reference, personal
interviews, standardized test scores, verification of
certification, etc. The graduate program coordinator will
contact you for any additional material needed to determine your
acceptability to the program.
Special/Nondegree Graduate Students
-
If you wish to take graduate courses but do not want to
pursue a master's degree at UW-Stevens Point, you may register
as a graduate special. You must hold a bachelor's degree from an
accredited institution in order to attend as a graduate special.
You do not need to complete a formal application process. You
will be granted graduate special status when you register for
classes.
-
As a graduate special student you may enroll in
graduate-level courses and receive graduate credit for teacher
certification requirements or for personal enrichment. A maximum
of 9 credits can apply toward a master's degree provided they
are approved by your advisor and fit within the seven-year time
period required for completion of the degree. If you decide to
pursue a master's degree, it is in your best interest to change
your status to graduate regular as soon as possible.
