-Application for Transfer Credits-

 

                Students who have been admitted to a master’s degree program at UW-Stevens Point and who wish to take a course at another institution and have it transferred into their degree program at UWSP must use this form to obtain approval to apply transfer credits to their degree program.  All course work, with the exception of up to nine credits, must be completed at UWSP.

                Within the nine credit limit, credit for a course completed at another institution may be transferred to UWSP and applied toward a graduate degree provided (1) the course is appropriate for the student’s proposed graduate degree program at UWSP, (2) the institution offering the course is regionally accredited at the graduate level, (3) the course appears as a graduate course on the student’s graduate transcript from the institution offering the course, (4) the course is applicable toward a graduate degree at the institution offering the course, (5) the course is not a correspondence course, nor is it taught in a format less rigorous than that for UWSP courses*. and (6) the student earned a grade of at least B (3.00) for the course.  You may not transfer credit taken by correspondence and/or mass media courses, or at extension divisions outside the UW System.  Continuing Education Units (CEU’s) are not equivalent degree credits and are not transferable.

 

*UWSP courses shall not be offered for more than one credit per week.  There should be a minimum of 13 1/3 class hours plus the provision for at least 32 hours of student preparation and other extra class activity per credit.
