COUNSELING CENTER

Direct Admit

Direct Admit Wisconsin is an initiative by the Universities of Wisconsin to proactively offer admission to qualifying high school students in between their junior and senior years of high school. Direct admission removes the traditional application process and instead uses data provided by the high school to admit students to universities.

You may be wondering, how can I be eligible to be a part of this Direct Admit Program? Well, you must be enrolled in a participating school district and opt to participate in the program.

Then, if you are on track to complete the credits required for admission – 4 units of English, 3 units of approved math, 3 units of social science, 3 units of natural science, and 4 additional

academic units – you will receive an admission offer through Direct Admit Wisconsin. Each participating UW university has its own GPA and course requirements. Students are matched with participating UW universities using progress towards graduation, whether they are on track to complete the required credits for admission to the Universities of Wisconsin and their unweighted cumulative GPA. Check the Direct Admit website to view participating Wisconsin Universities and gather more information!

Parchment and Transcript Requests

All students who are looking to order a transcript should make sure that they have an account set up through Parchment.com. If you have not already done so and are unsure about how to set up an account, you can stop by the Counseling Center to grab some printed instructions. If you are ordering a transcript before June 13th, please select the “hold for grades” option before placing an order.

 

Summer Recovery

Badger High School offers Summer School for credit recovery. During summer school, students can make up 0.5 credit in either math or English, helping them stay closer to graduation requirements. You should have already received information on how to sign your student up for summer school. If you have not, please send your student to the Counseling Center for a signup sheet. It is extremely important that students take advantage of these opportunities and avoid falling behind. The earlier we intervene, the more likely your student can get back on track and avoid getting into an academic situation that becomes difficult to recover from.

BADGER LIBRARY

The end of the year is drawing near! Here are a few reminders from the Badger Library:

  • AP Students looking for test practice and study tips should visit the library.  We have print study workbooks available for checkout.  The Lake Geneva Public Library also has a great tutoring resource called BrainFuse.  This is a free resource to anyone with a public library card offering online, live tutoring in all kinds of subjects, including AP courses.
  • All library materials are due Friday, May 23rd.  Fines will be issued for materials not returned by this date.  Students who have library materials checked out or fines on their account receive weekly reminder emails.
  • Our SORA eBook, audioBook, eComics, and eMagazines platform is available to students all summer long.  Check our website for more details on access.
