TRANSFER OF NWTC CREDIT TO OTHER COLLEGES

Where can students transfer NWTC credits?

Many public and private colleges accept credits from NWTC, especially Associate Degree and General Studies credits. In fact, it is quite common for students to earn credits at NWTC to save costs, time or stress in pursuing a bachelor's degree.

   Some or all of a student's NWTC credits may transfer to:

• UW System including UW-Green Bay
• UW Stout (Manufacturing Engineering)
• Milwaukee School of Engineering
• Bellin College of Nursing
• Lakeland College
• Silver Lake College
• Marian College
• Concordia University
• Northern Michigan University
• Franklin University
• Phoenix University Online
• ... and other colleges

Each college determines what credits it will accept, so students should contact the receiving college to ask whether specific NWTC courses will transfer. You can view the current transfer agreements and share them with staff who assist you at other colleges.

Transfer Information System (TIS)

The Transfer Information System (http://www. uwsa.edu/tis/) is an information and transfer guide for students and staff in the University of Wisconsin system and the Wisconsin Technical College System. It is an Internet program designed to provide potential transfer students with current and accurate information to help them make more informed transfer decisions.

The Transfer Information System (TIS) is divided into four major sections:

1. Transfer of Courses
2. Institutional Information
3. Academic Programs and Requirements
4. Transfer Progress Reviews

The information in the Transfer Information System is provided by the institutions and represents official institutional information. Although the information is intended to be current and accurate, it should NOT be considered a substitute for formal admission or transfer procedures. Since course transfer information may vary based upon specific majors or programs, the admissions counselor at each institution should be contacted.
