Two-Year Institutions UW Colleges Students may generally transfer up to 72 credits from the UW Colleges. When appropriate, some UW System institutions may accept additional credits.

Transfer students are responsible for fulfilling any such residency requirements.

A maximum of 15 credits from approved general education courses in social science, behavioral science, and communications may transfer. UW System and WTCS institutions have over 370 articulation agreements that permit WTCS students enrolled in specific associate degree programs to transfer additional occupational credit. In addition, the UW System and WTCS are collaborating on several new degree completion articulation programs. It is anticipated that some of these new transfer opportunities will be available beginning in the fall of 2002.
