How admission works
You are admitted directly to Construction Management when you are admitted to UW–Porter Falls — there is no separate application. Declare it on your application or change to it later through your adviser. Meeting a few readiness benchmarks in the first year keeps you on the four-year path.
First-year readiness benchmarks
Stay in good academic standing, complete the first-year math and introductory construction management courses on schedule, and keep your GPA above the program’s progression minimum. Students who fall behind in the first year can usually still finish, just on a five-year rather than four-year path — your adviser will remap it.
If you are transferring in
Transfer students are welcome. Send transcripts for evaluation, use the transfer-course guide, and meet with an adviser before registering so approved credit lands where it should. Most general-education and introductory major credit transfers cleanly; upper-division major courses are reviewed by the department.
Questions and next steps
An admissions counselor or a Construction Management adviser can walk you through the specifics for your situation. Start with the program page and the application, and see the four-year plan for how the courses sequence.
If your plans change
Because admission is direct, there is no competitive gate to fail — but falling behind in the first-year benchmarks above can push you onto a five-year path or into a related major with lower prerequisites. If that happens, meet with your adviser as soon as a term goes badly rather than after two or three have; the earlier plan changes, the fewer credits are lost.
Common questions
Can I start undeclared and move into Construction Management later? Yes for most students, though a direct-admit program like this one is easiest to enter from day one — talk to an adviser about which prerequisites to prioritize if you switch in later.
Does a minor or double major affect admission? No — admission is based on the criteria above regardless of what else you plan to study, though a heavier combined course load can make the prerequisite timeline tighter.
Where do deadlines and current thresholds live? The program page and your adviser have the current cycle's dates and numbers; this page describes how the process works rather than this year's specific deadline.
Fictional information
UW–Porter Falls is a work of parody. The admission process described here is a parody of how programs like this typically work; the specific thresholds are invented.
