Deadlines

International students requesting a student visa need to complete their application and receive an official admission letter by November 1 for spring admissions, and July 1 for fall admissions. UW-Green Bay does not offer admission to international students during the summer session with the exception of the Masters of Athletic Training program. Students who wish to transfer their I20 within the US may follow the standard application deadlines.

International applicants who do not meet the English proficiency requirement for admission may qualify for Conditional Admission. For conditional admission, a student must apply to UW-Green Bay and a UW-Green Bay ESL partner program (e.g., WESLI or Fox Valley Technical College). An English language program is not available at UW-Green Bay.  If admissible, a conditional admission letter will be issued to apply toward the partner program’s I-20 for the applicant to use during the visa interview. Please note that UW-Green Bay cannot issue an I-20 until the applicant completes all admission requirements, including the English proficiency standards.
