MMSD Science Research Internship Program
Orientation & Introduction to UW-Madison
Welcome to the University of Wisconsin – Madison
This orientation will provide you with an introduction to UW-Madison. Through this orientation you will become more familiar with the enrollment process, important dates and deadlines, and campus resources. You will be required to complete a short quiz about the content of the orientation. While the quiz contains only a few questions, you are responsible for knowing all of the information presented. Upon successful completion of the quiz, I will clear you to enroll. Instructions for taking the quiz can be found later in this PowerPoint show.
Adult Career and Special Student Services is your dean's office while you are enrolled as a University Special student. Your advisor is Moira Kelley and she can be reached at [email protected]

Unique Admission Process
Undergrad vs. Special student admission Special – Minimum GPA of 3.000 required Undergraduate Following are the general qualifications of admitted freshmen. These figures are not cutoffs. They are the middle 50% range, so 25% of admitted students fall below the range and 25% place above it.
Class Rank 86–96th percentile GPA* 3.5–3.9
ACT 26–30 SAT 1770–2010 *Unweighted, academic GPA From Freshman Admission Expectations 2008-09
Admission as a Special student does not improve your chances of getting admitted as an undergraduate.
Grades as Special student
