international student admission. You are encouraged to obtain
application information from each institution to which you are
applying to. The institution(s) to which you are applying will
provide detailed instructions for completing the application

the admission of students who are interested in enrolling in
undergraduate-level courses without formally entering a degree
program. Some institutions use a different application form for
students in this category. Consult the appropriate UW System
institution for specific information about admission, deadlines and
the correct form to use.

Use and Disclosure of U.S. Social Security or Other Taxpayer
Identification Number: Federal law allows the University to request
and use your Social Security Number (SSN) or other Taxpayer
Identification Number (TIN) for routine record keeping, institutional
statistics and research, and compliance with Federal and State
reporting requirements. Although providing the SSN or TIN is not
required for admission to the University, it is required for financial
aid and ensures that you will be able to claim the new educational
tax benefits, if eligible, on your federal tax return. The University
may use the SSN or TIN for billing and collection efforts, financial
aid, internal verification and administrative purposes.
The SSN or TIN is protected under the Federal Privacy Act of 1974
(5 U.S.C. 552a) and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act
(FERPA) (20 U.S.C. 1232g) and will only be disclosed as provided
above or with the student’s consent or as otherwise required or
permitted by law.
Use and Disclosure of Racial/Ethnic Information: The U.S.
Department of Education (DOE) requires the University to report
the number of students in various racial/ethnic categories. Your
cooperation in furnishing accurate information will be appreciated.
Racial/ethnic heritage information will be treated as confidential
and will not appear on academic records, grade reports, class lists
or transcripts. Individual student racial/ethnic information will be
released only with the student’s consent or as otherwise permitted
by law.
Services for Veterans: For the purposes of this application only, a
veteran is a former or current member of the United States Military.
Veterans no longer serving need to have been discharged in good
standing. Eligibility for benefits or services will vary based upon the
individual’s specific level of service. Please note that other agencies
or applications may use a different definition to establish veteran
status.
UW System institutions are approved to offer veterans’ educational
benefits under programs provided by the U.S Department of
Veterans Affairs and the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs.
There are also programs and benefits that provide services to
spouses and children of those who have or are currently serving in
the U.S Military.
For information on veterans’ educational benefits, contact the U.S.
Department of Veterans Affairs Education Service at 800-827-1000
or visit their website at www.gibill.va.gov. Information on Wisconsin
state benefits is available from the Wisconsin Department of
Veterans Affairs: call 800-947-8387 or visit their website at dva.
