the freshman-sophomore campuses in Green Bay and Kenosha be expanded to four-year institutions (the Kenosha institution eventually became the University of Wisconsin–Parkside). The bill was signed into law on September 2, 1965.
UW–Green Bay officially came into being in the fall of 1968, with the first classes being held at the Deckner Center (now Anne Sullivan Elementary School), home of the former Green Bay extension center. It moved to its current location in the fall of 1969.

In January 2024, Chancellor Alexander announced that the Marinette campus would move all instruction online.
