Do UW tech colleges accept UW college credits?

I'm planning to transfer from a University of Wisconsin college to a tech college within the same system. Does anyone know if my credits will transfer easily? Just trying to make sure I don't waste any time or money here!

Absolutely, credits from a University of Wisconsin institution can indeed be transferred to a tech college within the same system. However, the specifics depend on several factors such as the type of course and grade received, as well as how these apply to the curriculum at the receiving institution.

A comprehensive arrangement called the "Universal Credit Transfer Agreement" exists between the University of Wisconsin, Wisconsin Technical College, and independent colleges and universities. This guarantees that certain core or general education courses are transferable, assuring students that they can bring these credits with them.

But it's critical to remember that not all UW courses might be covered by this agreement, or they may not align exactly with the requirements at the tech college in question. For more precise information, I would recommend speaking directly with your current advisor or a counselor at the tech college you're interested in attending, or using the Transfer Wisconsin tool, which gives information on how specific credits will transfer.

Just remember, before making any decisions, understand the transfer policies at both the sending and receiving institutions. Plan ahead, and make sure you have your transcripts and any other necessary paperwork organized. This will ensure that the transfer process goes as smoothly as possible for you. Good luck!
