About Direct Admit
removing A Barrier
You're that much closer to college.
The direct admit process eliminates the need for Green Bay area public school students to apply to UW-Green Bay. That means no application form, no admission essay and no need to supply your high school transcript. Our goal is to provide the opportunity for all students to have access to a college education.
