Students must also remain on campus during exam week to complete all final exams. Completed applications should be turned in to the exchange program coordinator at your school. We advise you to obtain two original copies of financial support documentation, as you will have to provide original copies to both the UW-Madison and the American Embassy or Consulate where you apply for your visa. Students who already have an undergraduate degree or its equivalent must carry eight credits per semester. Students without an undergraduate degree must carry twelve credits per semester.
Exchange students register for courses the week before instruction begins.
Many classes may be filled to capacity. Exchange students are asked to be flexible in planning their academic program. Advisors are available in the Office of University Special and Guest Students to assist in planning. Each department on campus has an advisor to assist students as well. Please contact these advisors after your arrival in Madison for assistance in course selection.
