POLICIES REGARDING EARNING CREDITS AT ANOTHER INSTITUTION
One or more of the following statements may pertain to your academic record. Please review
each of these items completely:
COURSEWORK TAKEN AT ANOTHER INSTITUITON DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY COUNT
FOR FINANCIAL AID ELIGIBILITY. Contact the Financial Aid Office to talk with the
Consortium Agreement Coordinator to see if your aid will be affected by dual
enrollment.
The UW-Whitewater GPA is not affected by work taken at other colleges. However, the
College of Business and Economics, the College of Education and Professional Studies,
and Communications Department use a combined transfer GPA and UW-Whitewater
GPA to determine eligibility for Majors and Graduation.
A minimum of 25% of the major course credits and 25% of the minor course credits
must be completed at UW-Whitewater.
To be equated to the UW-Whitewater course(s) as indicated, the course(s) at the other
institution must be taken for at least 2/3 of the number of semester credits assigned to
the course(s) at UW-Whitewater.
Business Majors: Courses from other institutions will not be accepted as equivalents of
upper-division Business & Economics courses at UW-Whitewater unless you have
earned at least 60 credits before taking the courses. At least 18 credits (21 credits for
Accounting and IT) must be earned at UW-Whitewater in your major subject.
Any course(s) transferring to UW-Whitewater as an elective course (ending in 999) may
need to be personalized into your academic record. Check with your academic advisor
prior to enrolling in the course to confirm the course will meet requirements. After your
course(s) have transferred, please refer to your college to see if a personalization is
required. This is most common for foreign language courses.
