I've heard that Madison College has some sort of guaranteed transfer plan to UW Madison. Can anyone explain how that works? Are there specific criteria or conditions that I need to meet?
Sure, I'd be happy to explain more about Madison College's guaranteed transfer agreement with UW Madison. This agreement is established so that students who begin their college studies at Madison College are guaranteed admission to UW Madison, given they meet certain conditions.
Here are the key components of Madison College's guaranteed transfer program:
- Fulfill the prerequisite courses: The guaranteed admission agreement requires you to complete general education courses, including math, English, and possibly specific courses related to your intended major at UW Madison.
- Maintain GPA requirements: You generally need to maintain a certain cumulative GPA usually around a 2.8 to 3.0, but requirements can sometimes be higher for more competitive programs.
- Complete at least one semester: You need to complete at least one semester at Madison College and earn at least 12 credits before applying for a transfer.
- Apply on time: You need to apply to Madison College's guaranteed admissions program and submit your transfer application to UW Madison by the appropriate deadline.
Keep in mind, just meeting the minimum requirements does not guarantee admission into the specifically desired major at UW Madison. Some programs have higher requirements or additional application steps. When planning your transfer, I’d recommend consulting with an academic advisor at Madison College, as they can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation and academic goals.
