Admissions

If you plan to obtain your Associate of Arts & Science degree entirely online, you must first apply for admission to UW Colleges Online.

Once admitted, you will then become known as a UW Colleges Online degree-seeking student for advising and registration purposes.

If you plan to take UW Colleges Online courses to fulfill requirements at another institution or for reasons other than obtaining the UW Colleges Associate of Arts & Science degree, please go directly to registration.

Important Registration Date Information

Registration for the Regular Academic Session is from Wednesday, November 11, 2009 to Thursday, January 07, 2010. No late online registrations will be accepted.

UW Colleges Online Degree-Seeking Students

If you are applying as a degree-seeking student, you are encouraged to apply as early as possible to allow adequate time for admissions and financial aid processing to occur (the application/financial aid process can take several weeks).

Students who apply after December 15th may still have time for admission and registration to process, however financial aid will most likely not be processed for students who are admitted close to the close of registration.

Keep these dates in mind when applying for admission, the processing of financial aid, posting of any mail in payments, etc. Classes may close during these days, so we recommend you have your enrollment fully completed prior to December 24th.
