Transfer Credit Forms

A transfer credit form must be used to obtain approval for the transfer of credits.  All course work, with the exception of up to twelve credits, must be completed at UW-Whitewater. Students who have already been admitted to a degree program here and who wish to take a course at another institution and have it transferred to UW-Whitewater, must obtain permission prior to enrolling in the course. The institution at which the student wishes to earn graduate credit may also require documentation of the student's graduate status at UW-Whitewater.
