The student selects the four-year UW School of his or her choice and is guaranteed admission

The University of Wisconsin Colleges Guaranteed Transfer Program enables students to begin their education as freshmen at the University of Wisconsin Colleges, and be guaranteed admission to a UW System institution as a junior. After fulfilling certain credit and grade point average requirements, students will transfer with the same rights and privileges as those who begin their education at the baccalaureate institution.

How does the student become eligible to participate ?

The student must begin as a new freshman at the University of Wisconsin Marathon County.

The student must submit a Declaration of Intent to participate in the Guaranteed Transfer Program prior to the start of the sophomore year (30 credits) at UWMC. Forms may be obtained from our Office of Student Services.

Within three years, the number of credits required for junior status at the baccalaureate institution to which the student intends to transfer must be complete. The baccalaureate institution may make exceptions to the required number of credits for those majors/programs for which early transfer is recommended.

A minimum of a 2.00 cumulative grade point average (2.6 for UW-Madison) and a 2.0 in the term prior to transfer must be maintained. UWMC students participating in the Guaranteed Transfer Program must meet the same criteria (e.g. G.P.A., course requirements, etc.) for admission to specific majors/programs as continuing students. The guarantee of admission applies only to the institution and not to the specific program or major.

Students will be allowed to participate in the Guaranteed Transfer Program with one receiving institution.
