2Required Documents

Official Transcripts

Official transcripts from all postsecondary institutions of higher learning from which 9 or more credits have been attempted are required. If you attended less than 9 credits you do not have to send an official transcript unless the courses completed were prerequisites for the program.

Transcripts must be sent directly from these institutions to UW-Green Bay via email or postal mail:
