"UWGB extends application deadlines for local counties

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay is taking the unusual step of keeping applications open through August — but only for students in 11 local counties.

The university stopped taking most freshman applications in May, and the application period for most transfer students ends today.
But officials decided to give local students more time, in part because of the slumping economy.
“We’ve had a few exchanges with students who have had to change their plans because of the economy,” said Pam Harvey-Jacobs, director of admissions at UWGB. “And those are typically local students, who decide they want or need to stay closer to home. So I think it’s good to be able to accommodate those students.”
The change means that new freshmen or transfer students who live in Brown, Kewaunee, Door, Oconto, Marinette, Shawano, Menominee, Calumet, Outagamie, Winnebago and Manitowoc counties still can apply for admission through mid-August, Harvey-Jacobs said."
