Transferring to four-year colleges
Many of the technical colleges have developed articulation agreements
with four-year private colleges and universities in the University
of Wisconsin System. Articulation agreements may contain course-to-course
equivalencies, while others provide for a total program transfer.
All college parallel credits are transferable.
The Transfer Information System
(TIS) is a Web site that has been developed by the University of
Wisconsin System in cooperation with the Wisconsin Technical College
System. The purpose of TIS is to help students understand their
options and provide information about transferring credits and programs
between the two systems.
If you are already planning to attend a four-year college or university
after attending one of Wisconsin's technical colleges, it is highly
recommended that you talk to an admissions counselor or academic
advisor. Requirements vary from institution to institution and an
admissions counselor or academic advisor can help you plan your
coursework to optimize your transfer of credit into your major.
They can also help you choose an appropriate college or university
to meet your career goals.
Transferring credits into the technical colleges
If you have attended another post-secondary institution, you may
be able to transfer credits into your Wisconsin technical college.
You may also be granted credit for skills and knowledge you've acquired
if they are equal to your chosen technical college's curriculum.
This "advanced standing" may be based on previous coursework
in high school or college, work experience, Youth Options, Youth
Apprenticeship, military training, independent study, apprenticeship
or other courses. It is important to check with a college advisor
for specific information and approval of credit transfers.
