Transfer credit policy

How Transfer Credits Work at University of Wisconsin - Manitowac

For CLEP and transfer-credit purposes, students should expect credit decisions to be made by the institution based on its published policies and the receiving program’s requirements. UW–Manitowoc’s role as a transfer-oriented campus means that exam credit and prior coursework are typically evaluated in the context of degree applicability and residency rules. Because policies can change and may differ by department or destination institution, students should confirm current credit-by-exam and transfer guidelines directly with the campus.

Students may also have options involving CLEP®, DSST, AP, ACE, or NCCRS credits, depending on University of Wisconsin - Manitowac's current policies. Not every alternative credit source is automatically accepted, so verify eligibility before completing a course or exam.

Approved credits may count toward general education, major requirements, electives, or other degree requirements depending on the evaluation. University of Wisconsin - Manitowac transfer credits should therefore be reviewed against the specific degree program.

Transfer tip: Check your transfer credit evaluation and compare accepted credits with your University of Wisconsin - Manitowac degree requirements before planning additional coursework.
