Graduate Applications
The UW-Green Bay Office of Graduate Studies accepts applications for admission through GradCAS for most programs.* To apply through GradCAS, select the appropriate semester. As application cycles for future semesters open, the links will be changed accordingly.
*Specialized Program Applications
Some specialized programs do not use GradCAS. Apply to these specialized programs through their designated portals below:

International Students
International applicants will also need to provide English proficiency, as well as a course-by-course evaluation of their transcript. For further information, refer to the international requirements page.
When Should I apply to Graduate School?
Apply as early as possible. Some programs have priority deadlines, limited cohort sizes or additional review processes that can affect admission availability. Applying early also gives you the best opportunity for admission, assistantships and financial aid consideration when available.
Already Admitted?
Now that you're admitted, there's important next steps and to-do items, like:
- Set up your account
- Check your UWGB email
- Contact your advisor
- Apply for financial aid
- Register for classes
- Buy a laptop

Accelerated Master's Programs (AMP)
Undergraduate Students
Accelerated Master's Programs (AMP) at UW-Green Bay are designed for students interested in pursuing a graduate degree program upon completion of their baccalaureate degree. Undergraduate students accepted into select programs may take graduate-level courses that fulfill requirements for both an undergraduate and graduate degree at UW-Green Bay.
Graduate Degree
Graduate Certificate Students
Certificates corresponding to one of UW-Green Bay's graduate degrees are stackable and can be used to fulfill degree requirements. See the list of certificates. If you're a graduate certificate student who decides to pursue a UW-Green Bay graduate degree, you must submit an application for admittance to the degree program.
Can I be re-admitted to a graduate program?
Maybe. Re-admission is available for some UW-Green Bay graduate programs, but not all programs permit re-admission. Program-specific policies may apply. If you're unsure whether your program is eligible, contact the program directly or the Office of Graduate Studies.
If you previously completed coursework in a UW-Green Bay graduate program, want to return to the same program, and have not taken a class for 1 to 3 consecutive terms, you may be eligible for re-admission without completing the full application process. To be considered, complete the Discontinued Student Re-Admit Form.
If you've been away for 4 or more consecutive terms, or if your program does not allow re-admission, you will need to complete a new application.
If you no longer have access to your UW-Green Bay account, IT can assist with your student login and email.
