Important Facts for Applicants

  1. Be sure to read the Program-Related Essential Functions on this website. If you are aware of or suspect that there is anything that may interfere with your ability to successfully complete Program or course requirements and participate in activities, you are encouraged to contact the Admissions Advisor or Director in advance. Timely requests can facilitate needed modifications or adjustments. Reasonable requests for appropriate academic adjustments will be granted and all requests are held in confidence.

  2. The state of Wisconsin requires that all licensed caregivers and others associated with health and child-care facilities have criminal background checks. This law applies to students receiving clinical training. All students who enter our Program must grant authorization to conduct such a background check. A convicted criminal offense may not preclude you from admission into the Program; however, due to Wisconsin State law, you may be precluded from internships, licensure, or employment.

  3. GRE scores are transmitted to the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Authorized persons may access the scores electronically for the use of the Program and School of Medicine and Public Health.

  4. Applicants who have completed other accredited post-baccalaureate professional education programs (e.g., law, medicine, theology) from degree-granting institutions may request to have their grade point average (GPA) for the last 60 hours calculated using their academic record including professional school and excluding professional school. In all cases, this GPA is calculated using the last 60 credits of the academic record.
