**Please note that the Common App is offline every year July 15–August 1 for maintenance, upgrades and campus updates. If you have an incomplete application after July 15, you will receive additional instructions to help you prepare your application for the next cycle. Reach out to your enrollment coach with any questions.

Important: Applying online vs. on-campus

You may not be considered for admission to both the residential (on-campus) program and UW–Madison Online for the same term. If you wish to apply as a transfer student to the residential program, please learn more at the Office of Admissions and Recruitment. If you applied for either residential or online and wish to be considered for the other program prior to receiving an admission decision, you must request to withdraw your application in writing to the Office of Admissions and Recruitment and then submit a new application to the desired program.
