Factors for Academic Consideration
The primary factor for admission is the student's cumulative grade point average (GPA). A minimum 2.5 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) is required for unconditional admission. However, a 2.5 GPA does not guarantee admission into all UIW programs.
Applications are accepted throughout the year for all academic terms. The application process should be completed in time to allow sufficient time for processing.
