Connections Program - Transition Checklist

This checklist is required to verify completion of Connections Program requirements and eligibility to enroll at UW–Madison. We strongly encourage you to fill out this form in consultation with your Connections campus advisor.

Student Information

Note: Some majors/programs may require a separate application, a higher GPA, and specific courses beyond those required by the Connections Program. Visit guide.wisc.edu/explore-majors for entrance requirements for undergraduate majors. If you meet the Connections Program requirements but are not eligible for your intended major, you can enter the College of Letters and Science at UW–Madison.

Are you submitting a separate application for admission to a specific program or major?

Enrollment Information

Submit your completed Connections Program Transition Checklist and all required materials by the deadline. The deadline for submission is March 1 for summer/fall enrollment and October 1 for spring enrollment. Required materials include:

  • AP/IB scores submitted directly by the testing agency (if not previously submitted)
