The name University of Wisconsin can have several meanings:

• When referring to a single campus, University of Wisconsin means University of Wisconsin–Madison. University of Wisconsin was the official name of this campus from its founding in 1848 until 1956, and remains in common usage in sporting and similar contexts.

• In administrative and similar contexts, University of Wisconsin has been an informal name for the University of Wisconsin System since its founding in 1971.

• From 1956 until 1971, University of Wisconsin was the official name of the institution formed by the merger of the Madison campus with Wisconsin State College-Milwaukee (1956) (a campus of the then-separate Wisconsin State Colleges system)(now University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee); followed by the creation of Green Bay (1965) and Parkside (1968).
