Requirement Term
Students follow the requirements outlined in the academic catalog according to the term of their admission. For students entering UW-Milwaukee in Fall 2025 or later:
- Students who wish to opt into a different requirement term must receive the approval of their school/college via an online request form. If new school/college requirements compel students to change their requirement term, the school/college must receive signed consent from the student.
- The requirement term for re-entry students will be that of the most recent term of admission. Students may appeal to their school/college to revert back to a prior requirement term.
Changing your requirement term:
- Prior to changing your requirement term, you should communicate with your academic advisor about the implications of the change.
- Your academic advisor can assist you through the process to update your requirement term using the Requirement Term Change Form.
- This form can be initiated by an academic advisor or a student but required approval of both parties.
- Once the student and advisor approve the change, the Registrar’s office will receive the form, and the change will usually be processed within 2 business days.
