Are you ready to officially be part of the incoming class? All we ask is that you complete and submit a simple form to move on to your next step to becoming part of the Titan Family. The online form can be found at uwo.sh/hold-my-spot.

Congratulations Titan, your journey starts here!

When we receive your completed ‘Hold Your Spot’ form mentioned in Step 1, a Titan email account will be created for you. Login information for this account will be emailed to you within five business days.

You should check your UW Oshkosh email account often, minimally 1 to 2 times per week. We also highly encourage that you regularly check your spam folder. Sometimes emails are incorrectly filtered there, and we don’t want you to miss something!

Multifactor Authentication, or MFA, is an additional security measure we use at UW Oshkosh to protect your email account. All students must set-up their MFA right after receiving their login credentials. Instructions can be found online at uwo.sh/student-mfa.

The ‘Hold Your Spot’ form will also grant you access to the online portal to apply for housing and dining plans. Instructions needed to access the housing portal will be emailed to you after holding your spot.

Within the housing portal, you will submit a $75 housing deposit. After a $25 administrative fee, $50 will be applied to your Spring 2024 housing cost. The deposit is refundable with written notification to the Department of Residence Life no later than June 15, 2023 for Fall 2023 students.

Click here to begin your housing application. Move-in day for first-year students is early September. Watch your Titan email for specific dates.

All new incoming first-year students are required to complete an English and Math placement test prior to attending their Titan Takeoff day. Optional foreign language placement tests are available in French, Spanish and German.

Fall 2024 students: More information will be sent to your titan email in March.

You may be exempt if you have:

• Successfully completed a transferable level course (eg. CAPP, ECCP) in English composition, math or foreign language.
• If you have completed an AP or IB course prior to your senior year and received a qualifying score on the exam.

To learn more about placement testing and additional information on possible exemptions, please visit our placement testing website.

Testing should be completed at least two weeks prior to your Titan Takeoff Day.
