Undergraduate Admissions

Check Application Status

Once we receive your application for admission, we will send you an application acknowledgment. If you provide us with an e-mail address, the acknowledgement will be sent via e-mail. If you do not supply an e-mail address, you will receive the acknowledgement letter in the mail.

The acknowledgement will include your campus ID number, which can then be used to activate your UW NetID and ultimately check your application status.

This online system enables you to:

• Check to make sure we've received all of your application materials, and if we haven't, see a list of exactly what we do not have (e.g., application fee, test scores, etc.)
• View your admission decision (Decisions are typically made within six to eight weeks from the time your application file is complete.)
• Check the details we have on file about you, including residency status and term of entry
• Update your mailing address, phone number, and e-mail address
• Monitor the status of your financial aid application and accept your award

To Check Your Application Status

Before you can access the Application Status Web site, you must activate your UW NetID. To do so, you'll need your 10-digit campus ID number (found in your application acknowledgment letter or e-mail) and birth date. Once you activate your NetID, you will assign yourself a password and then be authorized to access the My UW Web portal and your application status information.
