□Step 1: Apply online for admission to UW-Rock County at www.apply.wisconsin.edu and pay the $44 application fee. If you don't pay online with a credit card, send a check or money order to UW-Rock County at the above address.
□Step 2: Have official transcripts sent from your high school and any colleges you've attended to the above address as soon as you submit your application. Note: High school students who apply before actually graduating from high school, will have to re-submit a final official high school transcript. A copy of a GED or HSED transcript with scores listed is also acceptable.
□Step 3: Send a copy of your ACT scores to the above address as soon as you submit your application if you will be graduating from high school or have graduated from high school within the last two years. You can ask your high school to send this with your transcripts or you can order it at www.actstudent.org if you didn't have it sent to UW-Rock County when you took the test.
Note: Applications are not processed until all three steps are completed and the necessary documentation has been received.
□Step 4: Apply for federal financial aid at http://www.fafsa.ed.gov and use the UW Colleges Code #003897 for UW-Rock County on the form. The priority deadline is April 15 of each year to ensure you will receive financial aid in time to make the tuition deadline for the upcoming Fall Semester. Also look for scholarship opportunities. If you need assistance with applying for financial aid, please contact Student Services.
□Step 5: Receive your admission letter. After UW-Rock County receives your application, application fee, official transcripts and ACT scores, you will receive an admission letter from UW-Rock County. Typically this occurs within two weeks of receiving the required information. If you have not received an admission letter after two weeks of submitting all of your admissions materials, please contact Student Services at the above number.
□Step 6: Take Placement Tests. Information will be sent with the admission letter about Placement Tests for English and math. The results of these tests determine which math and English courses you will take. New freshman pay a $25 Placement Test fee that is automatically added to the first semester tuition & fees statement. If you are a transfer student you may be required to take a placement test in math or English depending on what math and/or English courses you have taken at other institutions.
□Step 7: Attend a Student Orientation And Registration (SOAR) session to enroll in classes. Pay the $100 Advance Tuition Deposit at Business Services at the beginning of the SOAR session. This money will be directly applied to your fall tuition. Refund of this amount depends on when you withdraw from your courses. You will not be able to register for classes during your advising appointment unless you've paid this deposit.
□Step 8: Register for classes and attend a New Student Welcome. A lot of important information will be given to you for a good start to the academic year. You may take a campus tour, buy your books, locate your classes and ask any last-minute questions. Attendance of a New Student Welcome is required of all new students. Tuition is due after the first week of classes.
