Admitted students
Congratulations on your acceptance. Here is a timeline to help keep you on track towards your first day as a UW-Green Bay Phoenix.

What's next...
  1. APPLY FOR HOUSING!
    If there is any chance that you might want to live on-campus, apply for housing NOW. More information about housing at UW-Green Bay was included in your admission folder (if you're a degree-seeking student), or you can go to Office of Residence Life Web site for more information.

  2. CHECK YOUR E-MAIL
    You were assigned a UWGB e-mail account upon admission. Various University offices will be communicating with you via your UWGB student e-mail account. Be sure to check it periodically. Information regarding accessing your e-mail account can be found on the Computer and Information Technology Web site.

  3. APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID
    Access the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. If a link is not available for the school year for which you have been admitted, check back. The link will be active as soon as the form is available. For other financial aid related questions, including scholarship information, visit the UWGB Financial Aid Office Web site.

  4. EXPLORE THE STUDENT INFORMATION SYSTEM
    Much of your university business will be conducted through the Student Information System (SIS). Certain functions related to financial aid and registration happen through SIS, so it’s a good idea to get to know your way around.

  5. TAKE YOUR MATH PLACEMENT TEST
    Information regarding the Wisconsin Math Placement Test is generally available in late January. You will register for math placement tests at www.testing.wisc.edu, and click on "Regional Placement Testing." The link will become active as soon as dates have been determined. If you plan to take a foreign language class at UW-Green Bay, we strongly recommend that you also take the foreign language placement test.

  6. REGISTRATION AND ACADEMIC ADVISING
    All new transfer students are encouraged to meet with an adviser in the Academic Advising Office to review credit evaluations, general education requirements, registration procedures, and academic policies and procedures. If you are transferring with an Associate’s Degree from a UW System school, and/or you have identified a major you wish to pursue, it is important to also meet with a faculty adviser in your chosen field to go over major/minor requirements. List of faculty advisers. You can contact the Academic Advising Office at (920) 465-2362, or the Transfer Coordinator, Deanne Kusserow, at (920) 465-5105 or kusserod@uwgb.edu. For more transfer student information, please go to the Academic Advising website. The Schedule of Classes is available online only.

This is generally done within several weeks of your admission on a priority basis for the current semester. If you are transferring from a different UW campus, or from a Wisconsin Technical College campus, you can do an unofficial evaluation yourself at the Transfer Information System (TIS) Web site.
