Guaranteed admission to University of Wisconsin System institutions and technical colleges and requiring high schools to prepare class rankings for certain pupils. (FE)

The school board, charter school operator, or governing body must provide notice of ranking to each pupil ranked in the top 5 percent of the pupil's high school class. If a high school's class enrollment is less than 20 pupils, the highest ranked pupil in the class is considered to be in the top 5 percent.

The bill provides that, under the UW System and technical college guaranteed admission programs, an applicant is eligible for guaranteed admission to the UW System institution or technical college of the applicant's choice if the applicant satisfies any of the following criteria: 1) the applicant graduated from, or expects to graduate from, a public, private, or tribal high school in Wisconsin and is ranked in the top 5 percent of the applicant's high school class at the time of application; 2) the applicant is homeschooled, has been or expects to be granted a high school diploma, and achieves an ACT examination score in the top 5 percent of all scores statewide.

For UW System institutions, the program applies only to applicants for admission as first-year undergraduate students. An applicant for admission under the guaranteed admission program must also submit a timely and complete application.

A UW System institution or technical college may revoke an offer of admission if the applicant later fails to graduate from high school, fails in the final year of high school to maintain a level of academic achievement similar to the applicant's level of academic achievement at the time of application, or misrepresents the applicant's class rank or ACT examination score.
