Special students with full credentials

Students who have a conferred bachelor's degree and wish to enroll only for undergraduate coursework are considered "special students with credentials".  Students in this classification are eligible to enroll in up to 18 credits and must meet the UW-W program grade point average requirement.  These students are considered to have fulfilled Proficiency, General Education, Core, and Diversity requirements.  Transfer unit evaluations and Academic Advising Reports (AARs) are not available for these students and formal advising is not required.
