Admitted New Freshmen Checklist

There are just a few more steps to take to becoming a Yellowjacket and diving into the UW-Superior community.

Complete Your FAFSA

✓

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to determine eligibility for need-based federal, state and UW-Superior grants. It’s also required if you’re interested in federal loans and work-study.

Set Up Okta Verify

In an effort to protect your personal data, UW-Superior uses a multi-factor authenticator called Okta Verify. You will need to set up your Okta Verify account to access all of your UWS apps including E-Hive, Canvas and more.

Stay Tuned

Your admissions counselor will let you know when and how to complete additional next steps regarding housing, placement testing (if required), SOAR registration, and potential scholarship opportunities.

Register for Online Placement Testing

✓

English, math and foreign language placement tests (for those who have taken a language class in high school) are required to ensure you are placed in courses best suited for you. Don’t worry, they aren’t that bad! These must be completed two weeks prior to attending SOAR.
