Admitted First-Year Student Checklist

There are just a few more steps to take to becoming a Yellowjacket and diving into the UW-Superior community.

Pay your Enrollment Deposit

Let us know you’re coming and save your spot in the incoming class with your $100 deposit. The deposit can be paid by U.S. credit card ($3.00 additional fee) or international credit card ($4.25 additional fee). This money is credited toward your first semester expenses and allows you to register for Summer Orientation Advisement and Registration (SOAR) and housing.

Submit Official Transcripts

After you graduate from high school, please submit your official transcripts from your high school. Ask your high school guidance counselor to send your official transcript.

If you enrolled in PSEO or CIS programs, please contact the Registrar from these colleges or universities.

We recommend using an electronic transcript service like Parchment to have your transcript sent to us. This is the most convenient, quickest method. You may also send your transcripts by mail to:

Admissions Office
University of Wisconsin-Superior

P.O. Box 2000

If you would like your AP scores to be considered for college credit, an official AP score report must be submitted by College Board for evaluation.

Your admissions counselor will let you know when housing and meal plan contracts open. Please note that to submit your contract, you will need your student ID and UWS email address from your acceptance letter.
