Placement Testing

UW-Green Bay Admissions Office website: www.uwgb.edu/oira/testing/admissions/

English: ACT or SAT Test Scores

Official ACT or SAT scores are required for:

  • all new freshmen;
  • all transfer and reentry students who have not satisfactorily completed at least one college-level course in English composition;
  • transfer students who have completed fewer than 15 transferable credits at the time of application;
  • special (non-degree) students who want to enroll in an English composition course;
  • students wishing to be eligible for intercollegiate athletics.

ACT/SAT test scores are used to provide a basis for course level placement in English composition, and to provide benchmark data for assessing verbal and quantitative skills developed by freshmen and sophomores. The test score policy also complies with University of Wisconsin System Regents policy and may be used by the Admissions Office to support a student’s admission to the University.

Mathematics: Wisconsin Mathematics Placement Test

The Wisconsin Mathematics Placement Test (WMPT) is required for:

  • all new freshmen;
  • all transfer and reentry students who have not satisfactorily completed a college-level mathematics course;
  • all special students who want to enroll in a mathematics course.

The WMPT is scheduled throughout the state from April and May through July. Students not able to take a regional test may take one of the residual tests scheduled on campus near the start of each term or during the semester. The test results determine the course level placement for mathematics courses. The test fee will normally be added to the student’s initial fee billing.
