Guaranteed Admission for high school students
Qualified high school students who have taken University of Wisconsin-Parkside college courses while in high school will now receive guaranteed admission to the UW-Parkside. Students who are eligible for guaranteed admission will not be required to reapply which will allow for an easy transition from high school to college. Due to students already taking college courses and having credits from UW-Parkside they will be ahead of the game with a high probability of graduating on-time or even graduating early; saving time and money. Students that earn college credits in high school are more likely to continue their education to earn a degree, certificate, or specialized training to begin their career sooner.
Required Qualifications
Students are eligible for Guaranteed Admission if they:
- Completion of two or more UW-Parkside college level courses, taken while in high school
- A cumulative UW-Parkside GPA of 2.33 or higher
- A cumulative unweighted high school GPA of 2.0 or higher
- Completion of the Admission “Intent to Enroll form” and any required documents by published deadlines.
Note: Students in the RUSD Education Pathway or the KUSD Educator Rising Program can apply one Carthage College course to the 2 UW-Parkside course requirements. Students should submit their official Carthage transcripts as part of their UW-Parkside Admission Application.
