<p>Written by Kristine Zaballos</p> <p> </p> <p>On Feb. 10, 2022, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater joined more than 900 other member colleges and universities to make its application available on the <a href="https://www.commonapp.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Common Application</a>, generally referred to as the Common App, in addition to the <a href="https://apply.wisconsin.edu/homepage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UW System application</a>.</p> <p>More than 1 million prospective students use the Common App to search for or apply to colleges every year. In Wisconsin, UW-Whitewater joins UW-Eau Claire, UW-Madison, UW-Milwaukee, UW-Stevens Point and UW-Stout in offering the Common App in addition to the UW System application.</p> <p>Prospective new freshman domestic students for fall 2022 who have already applied to schools through the Common App will now also be able to apply to UW-Whitewater at no extra charge and with no additional paperwork.</p> <p>“We hope that the Common App introduces more prospective students across the country to UW-Whitewater,” said Jackie Briggs, director of admissions. “From our tremendous value and affordability to our exceptional faculty interaction and small classes, we want people to know that students not only enjoy a great experience while they are on campus but successful outcomes too.”</p> <p>Both the Common App and the UW System application can be accessed from the <a href="https://www.uww.edu/admissions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Admissions homepage</a> on the UW-Whitewater website.</p> <p>For questions or further information, contact Jackie Briggs, director of admissions, at <a href="mailto:briggsj@uww.edu">briggsj@uww.edu</a> or 262-472-1512.</p> False
