Terra Dotta - How to Log In
Terra Dotta is a tool that monitors student enrollment and visa status, which is essential for many international students and staff. It can be found at either terradotta.wisc.edu or through its MyUW app.
Finding Terra Dotta on MyUW
- On MyUW, search for Terra Dotta.
- Launch the full app from search or select Details and launch from there.
- If your NetID has been set up to access Terra Dotta, you will then see a portal for Incoming Students, Current F & J students, and Scholars & Employees.
Logging In
- To access most of the site, students will need to log in. Students can go directly to the login by clicking on either NON-UW-Madison LOGIN or LOGIN in the upper right corner of the initial screen.
- If students attempt to directly access a part of the site that requires login without first logging in, the security screen will open, see below:
- New students/applicants who have activated their NetIDs and current students will use the NetID login option.
- New students/applicants who have not yet activated their NetID can login using the instructions sent by their admitting office for the second option.
- If an applicant has not activated their NetID and has not been sent any login instructions by their admitting office, then they will need to contact their admitting office.
