UW Colleges Admissions
Transfer Students (Transferring in to the UW Colleges)
If you attended another college before applying for admission to the UW Colleges, you must complete the University of Wisconsin System Application for Undergraduate Admission form and submit official transcripts from all colleges you attended. If you maintained a 'C' average or higher (2.00 on a 4.00 scale) at your previous college(s), you are likely to be admitted. If you are admitted and had less than a 2.0 semester or cumulative GPA, the UW Colleges regulations (probation, suspended standards) will be used to determine your probation status.
A transfer student's application is not complete until official transcripts of all prior college work have been received and evaluated. In the event of unavailability of transcripts, other materials, such as grade reports, may be submitted. However, admission based on such data is tentative and may be revoked. Students suspended from another institution will not be admissible to the UW Colleges until the period of suspension elapses.
If you are admitted as a transfer student with lower than a C average, particularly during your last semester of attendance, you may be asked to meet the conditions outlined for new freshmen ranking in the lower 25 percent of their high school classes.
