 Transfer Orientation

 

Transfer Orientation

All part- and full-time transfer students are required to attend one of the scheduled one-day Orientation/Registration sessions. These sessions are held in April, May and during the summer for the fall semester and November/December for the spring semester. You will be invited to a session based on your number of transfer credits.
 
Complete information and registration instructions will be sent to you after you have been admitted and paid the $100 enrollment deposit. The registration information is sent out approximately one month in advance of the registration date.
 
The Orientation/Registration session includes a credit degree assessment, academic resource information, policies and academic department enrollment management information, as well as advising and class registration.
 
The cost of the program is covered in part by a $175.00 matriculation fee that appears on each new student's first tuition bill.  The matriculation fee covers the Orientation programming costs (including printed materials, continental breakfast, and parking), Convocation, First Year Experience programming, and Commencement.  Please note this is a one-time fee added to the first semester tuition bill.

 Transfer Credit and Guides

 

 

Transfer Credit

The Admission Office at UW-Stevens Point determines whether credits earned at another institution will transfer to UW- Stevens Point and how those credits will apply toward UWSP general degree requirements.  Please note the following general policies regarding transfer credit:

  • We accept a maximum of 72 credits from two year colleges.
  • Generally, you will receive credit in courses for which you earned a D or higher.  Credits must come from institutions that are accredited by a regional or national accrediting organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).  Courses must be similiar in nature, level, and content to course work in our undergraduate curriculum.  Continuing education course and courses that are remedial, technical, vocational, or doctrinal in nature are not transferable.
  • The appropriate academic department will determine which credits apply to your major or minor.
  • Credits transferred from other insitutions are not used in calculating UWSP grade point average.  The UWSP grade point average is determined only by credits and grade point earned at UWSP.  However, transfer credits and grades are included in the calculation of the grade point average in most majors and minors and in the determination of graduation honors.
  • To graduate from UW-Stevens Point, you must earn at least 30 of the total number of credits required for graduation in residence at UWSP.
  • Information on Military Credit.
  • For more information on Transfer Credit, please refer to the UWSP Course Catalog.
