Welcome to the New Student Orientation page for incoming business students! We recommend you reference the information below prior to attending your advising session during your New Student Orientation to help you get prepared for course enrollment.
All Business majors are required to submit ACT or SAT scores or complete placements through UWM prior to attending New Student Orientation to determine your Math and English placement levels. If you have not yet completed your placements please visit: Fall – New Freshman | Student Orientation (uwm.edu) to learn more. If you placed into developmental level Math (Math 94 or 98) or you are not satisfied with your Math placement level, we highly recommend you to complete Panther Math Prep (PMP) as soon as possible. Students are allowed to re-test up to 5 times. For English, students are only allowed to take the Guided English Placement (GEP) once.
Check here to see how UWM will accept Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) scores. If you completed AP or IB courses, be sure to have those transferred to UWM as soon as possible. If we have not received your scores prior to attending orientation make sure to let an Advisor know during your NSO course enrollment session.
