The University of Wisconsin–Madison offers the Road to Wisconsin transfer pathway for select students from Illinois. Students who are offered the Road to Wisconsin pathway begin as college freshmen at a two-year institution. Those students who meet the program requirements outlined below will be granted admission to UW–Madison as a transfer student for the fall 2021 term.
Program Requirements

- Submit an official final high school transcript showing high school graduation and successful completion of senior year by July 10, 2020.
