UW System on the Web

Students considering a transfer within UW System and Wisconsin Technical College System institutions can now look to the friendly faces on an easy-to-understand website for guidance.

The UW System's Transfer Information System is a one-stop source for information regarding credit transfer among UW and WTCS campuses. The site was recently redesigned to improve accessibility and navigation—making clear what could otherwise be a befuddling process.

• "Credit Transfer Wizards" that allow visitors to quickly compute how individual classes or courses will transfer.
  
• Links to an extensive library of transfer resources and campus web pages.
  
• Links to the institution-specific UW Colleges Transfer Guides and WTCS Transfer agreements.

Students still deciding which UW campus to attend can also find a link to UW HELP Online, which provides information about admissions, majors, programs, student life and financial aid.
