Interactive web application for special student applicants in one of the following categories.
You may use this application if:
- You are a college graduate or community adult not currently earning credits for a UW-Madison degree program and wish to take courses for credit:
- for professional or personal enhancement
- for a UW-Madison Certificate Program
- in preparation for admission to graduate or professional school
- as a one-term-only visitor from another college or university
- as a one-term-only option for a returning adult student with an undergraduate degree or a need to clarify academic interest and/or career goals
To speak with an academic advisor, call 1-608-263-6960 or e-mail assc@dcs.wisc.edu.
- You are an adult and wish to audit (sit in on) university lecture courses at a reduced cost
and without earning academic credit under the Guest-audit classification.
Restrictions include:
- Space must be available in the class, and the professor must give enrollment permission.
- Currently enrolled high school and college students and individuals who plan to enter degree
programs usually do not qualify for the guest-audit privilege.
- Senior Auditors are Wisconsin residents ages 60 and older who wish to guest-audit
courses at no charge.
A special University Guest Senior application must be used.
Call 1-608-263-6960 or e-mail assc@dcs.wisc.edu
and identify yourself as a Wisconsin Senior.
You may apply on-line as a special student (above) if one of those categories meets your academic needs.
There are certain restrictions, however.
Non-native speakers of English must meet the minimum
TOEFL requirement of 550 (paper-based) or 217 (computer-based).
The Office of Special and Guest Students, with few exceptions, is not authorized to issue immigration
documents for student visas (F-1 and J-1), so if you would require such a visa to study legally in the
U.S. you should not use this application.
You may need to explore undergraduate or graduate study
opportunities at UW-Madison.
International students already in the U.S. on other universities' student visas,
however, may attend UW-Madison during the summer sessions.
If you do not need to request a student visa to
remain legally in the U.S. (i.e., you are on an F-2, J-2, H-4, L, etc.), you may use this application.
If you are an international student wishing to study full-time English, you must apply directly
to the English as a Second Language Program.
If you are an international student wishing to study at the UW as part of an exchange or
study-abroad program, please contact your home institution's international programs' office
first to discover whether your school has any formal exchange agreements with UW-Madison.
