Please stay tuned for the next year’s application window to open!

If you are interested in attending the program, please email sasli@lpo.wisc.edu to check if space is available.

Prior to submitting an application to SASLI, we encourage all students to review the program website, familiarizing themselves with the structure and rigor of the program. We also encourage students to review the SASLI Absence Policy and Policy on External Commitments. When you are ready to submit an application, please follow the steps below. Should you have questions, our Application Resources page may prove useful, otherwise you can reach out to us directly at sasli@lpo.wisc.edu. Good luck!

How to apply to SASLI:

Step 1: Fill out the online application form.

Step 2: Pay the non-refundable application fee immediately after submitting the form. When completing the payment form, please double check you have entered the correct language you are applying for and have selected the correct program from the drop-down menu before continuing on. If you are unsure how to fill out this portion of the payment form, please contact the SASLI office at sasli@lpo.wisc.edu prior to submitting a payment.

Step 3: Send an unofficial copy of your single most recent transcript to SASLI at sasli@lpo.wisc.edu (for current students and those enrolled in the last five years). If you have attended SASLI in the past, please also include your UW-Madison transcript with your application.

Step 4: Write a short statement as to why you would like to attend SASLI (one page maximum). If no transcripts are included, please address this in your statement. If this is not addressed, we will assume your application is incomplete and missing transcripts.

Please email your transcripts and statement to sasli@lpo.wisc.edu. If you are unable to submit a digital copy of your transcript, please get in touch with us via email.

Things to remember:

• Applying to SASLI does not automatically make you eligible for a SASLI FLAS or SASLI Half/Full Fee Remission; this is a separate application process.
• The SASLI application deadline is March 15, but please apply early to help ensure that the course you are interested in will be offered.
• Your application will not be considered for admission until the $25.00 application fee has been paid and supporting materials have been received. The fee is non-refundable unless the desired course is cancelled.
• After the application has been submitted, SASLI will communicate with the applicant only, not a proxy.
