Transfer Student

Transfer your credits. Transform your future. A transfer student is anyone who has attended a college or university after graduating from high school and wishes to enroll in an undergraduate degree program in the Universities of Wisconsin. Transfer students are vital members of our UW universities. Use our Transfer Student Resources to learn about the transfer process, how your college credits will transfer and the services and resources available at our universities.

The Transfer Process

The earlier you prepare to transfer, the smoother your transfer process will be. Stay in contact with your current institution and the UW you want to transfer to as you work through the admission and enrollment process.

Will My Credits Transfer?

This is THE question! Advisors at your current institution and at the UW you plan to attend can be helpful in answering this question. In addition, Transferology is a nationwide transfer tool that helps you understand how your credits will transfer and apply to your degree requirements. Search by institution, course or academic program.
