Gov. Tony Evers signed Senate Bill 367, now 2023 Wisconsin Act 95, requiring the Board of Regents at the UW System to establish a guaranteed admission program for certain Wisconsin high school students, according to a recent press release. The UW System reports that nearly 90% of in-state UW System graduates stay in Wisconsin five years after graduation.
Senate Bill 367, now 2023 Wisconsin Act 95:
- Requires the establishment of a guaranteed admission program to institutions in the UW System for pupils who rank within the top 5% or 10% of their high school class, depending on the UW System institution; and
- Requires school boards, charter school operators, and governing bodies of private and Tribal high schools operating grades 11 and 12 to prepare a class ranking of pupils at the completion of grade 11 if there are at least 15 pupils in the class.
