UW SYSTEM FALL 2017 ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFER APPLICANTS This chart is designed to provide a brief overview of admission requirements. It should never be used as the sole advising tool for transfer applicants. Transfer applications are evaluated through a comprehensive, individualized review process. Academic information considered includes your post-secondary records, such as GPA, and may also include your high school records, standardized test scores, and/or other relevant information. In cases where a campus has a stated grade point average, it is the minimum for consideration and does not guarantee admission. In some cases, admission to the institution does not guarantee admission to the major. Only those majors with GPA requirements above the GPA requirement for admission to the institution are listed in the second column. A complete listing for majors requiring GPAs above the minimum is included in Appendix VI. The high school record may be used in the admission decision for those students that have less than 15 credits. Individual institutions should be contacted to provide detailed information about course sequence, grade point average and other admission requirements. The UW System undergraduate transfer policy states that preference for admission will be given to UW Colleges transfers and other UW System transfers from institutions where a major is not available, subject to the limits of an institution's enrollment target. All UW System institutions have Guaranteed Transfer agreements with the UW Colleges. Students admitted under these agreements should follow the requirements of the agreement. The stipulations of these agreements are not included in this chart. The requirements and dates listed on this chart may be modified due to changing enrollment demands. Please refer to UW HELP Online (uwhelp.Wisconsin.edu) for current information.

9 APPENDIX I - MINIMUM GPA AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS IN SELECTED PROGRAMS/MAJORS

(UW-MADISON) This section offers a brief synopsis of requirements for the most frequently asked about majors. Any majors not listed here may differ in course sequence and grade point average

requirements. Please consult other majors’ departmental websites for more detailed information. NOTE: Grade point averages noted below refer only to requirements for currently enrolled UW-Madison students interested in applying to the respective programs. They are not

qualifications for assured admission to the University. BUSINESS – Students transferring to UW-Madison for the spring semester must complete a minimum of 12 credits in residence at UW-Madison, as well as any remaining Pre-

Business courses to be eligible for admission for the following fall semester to the Bachelor of Business Administration program (BBA). These requirements must be completed or in the process of being completed at the time of application to the BBA Program: https://wsb.wisc.edu/programs-degrees/undergraduate-bba/admissions/uw-madison-students/check-eligibility.

Direct Transfer Admission: (Available for fall semester transfers only) Students may apply for direct transfer admission into the BBA program at the same time they apply for admission to UW-Madison if they are transferring from a UW-System school

(both two and four year) or one of the Wisconsin Technical Colleges. Out-of-state applicants must complete 12 credits in residence at UW-Madison before applying to the BBA program in the spring semester. Please note the application deadlines for both the UW-Madison and Wisconsin School of Business. Students will have two opportunities to apply to the BBA program as long as 86 credits are not exceeded. Admission decisions are based on the completion of pre-business courses, cumulative GPA, and non-academic strengths such as leadership, community service, and other life experiences. Admission is competitive due to enrollment limitations. Students will be notified of their acceptance in early summer: https://wsb.wisc.edu/programs-degrees/undergraduate-bba/admissions - admissions-path-3-reveal.

Specific information on the application to the BBA is available at this link: https://wsb.wisc.edu/programs-degrees/undergraduate-bba/admissions/uw-madison-students/prepare-application-materials.

Questions can be directed to our Pre-Business Advisors, at [email protected] or 608-262-0471.

ENGINEERING – Students who have made an informed decision to pursue engineering and have not earned more than 80 transferable semester credits may apply for transfer

admission to the College of Engineering. Individuals who have already earned an undergraduate degree are not eligible to apply. To apply: Transfer students must specify which one of the 12 undergraduate engineering programs they are intending on their university application. The Office of Admissions and

Recruitment evaluates all transfer applications to the College of Engineering and selects students for direct admission in their intended engineering program. Admission is selective and competitive. To be considered for program admission, students must meet the UW-Madison transfer admission requirements and have satisfied as many of the requirements as possible shown in the General College Requirements for Off-Campus Students: https://www.engr.wisc.edu/app/uploads/2016/01/General_College_Requirements_for_Off_Campus_Transfer_Students-1.pdf.

After application: Soon after notification of admission to the College of Engineering, students who have satisfied the General College Requirements for Off-Campus Students before transfer will be

invited to submit a supplemental application to their intended program. If the application is approved, they may continue in their program needing to fulfill only the graduation requirements after transfer.

Students who do not fulfill the progression requirements before transfer must do so after transfer and within two semesters in residency. They must now also meet engineering major

GPA benchmarks: https://www.engr.wisc.edu/academics/student-services/academic-advising/first-year-undergraduate-students/progression-requirements/. They may then continue fulfilling graduation requirements for their program.

20 APPENDIX V – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS TRANSFERING TO UW FLEXIBLE OPTION

BACHELOR OF SCIENCE - BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM (BSBA) UW-EXTENSION

The UW Flexible Option Bachelor of Science in Business Administration is an online, self-paced, competency-based program. Competencies are awarded credit equivalents to support transfer to other institutions and to meet accreditation requirements. Terms (called subscription periods) are three months in length and students may begin their studies in any given month. Applications may be submitted as early as five months in advance and applicant files must be completed (all supporting materials received) no later than one month prior to start. The BSBA program consists of three categories of competencies or combinations of competencies and courses: the degree requirements (65 equivalent credits), general education requirements (30 equivalent credits), and electives (25 equivalent credits), for a total of 120 credit equivalencies. Mastery of all BSBA competencies must be demonstrated within the BSBA program, while general education requirements and electives may be met in a variety of ways: 1. All BSBA General Education requirements and all BSBA electives will be met by any of the following:

• Earned bachelor’s degree or master’s degree from a regionally-accredited institution • Successful completion of the UW Colleges Associate of Arts and Sciences Degree (AAS) • Successful completion of a liberal arts associate degree from a regionally-accredited institution

2. Successful completion of general education requirements through prior post-secondary study

Transcripts for students with some college-level academic work but no qualifying degree as defined above will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine if prior academic work satisfies general education or BSBA elective requirements. Any remaining general education or BSBA elective requirements may be satisfied through academic work offered by UW Colleges UW Flexible Option selections, additional transfer work having appropriate UW-Extension competency equivalency, or through credit-by-examination with College Level Examination Program (CLEP).

3. Credit by examination The UW-Extension BSBA program honors some learning credentials earned through examination. Students may have prior experiences that qualify for credit equivalents in their degree program. This prior knowledge may be gained through non-credit adult courses, job training, independent reading and study, and advanced high school courses. For such students, UW-Extension allows transfer of academic work that is verified through examinations offered by Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), and Dantes/DSST. Students who successfully complete these exams may transfer credit equivalents to UW-Extension. Depending on the subject area and the exam, the credit equivalents may count toward general education or elective credit requirements. A list of credit equivalents that students can earn toward the BSBA degree through AP, IB, CLEP, Dantes/DSST examinations can be found in the Credit by Examination Table.

4. Recognition of prior learning The Flexible Option BSBA program does recognize prior academic work that is documented through the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), College Board Advanced Placement examinations (AP), International Baccalaureate examinations (IB), military study programs, and ACE credit recommendations.
