Transfer Admission

To be considered for transfer admission for Fall 2010:

  • Students with at least a 2.50 cumulative grade point average in transferable credits will be stronger candidates for admission.

  • Students with a cumulative grade point average between a 2.00 and 2.49 in transferable credits will be considered for admission if space is available.

  • Students transferring from a UW College two-year campus who earn an associate degree or 60 credits with a cumulative GPA of 2.00 will be admitted.

  • Students who were not admissible as new freshmen must have earned at least 18 transferrable semester credits to be considered for transfer admission.

While academic preparation is the primary criterion used in the admissions review process, we consider other nonacademic secondary factors that may contribute to the strength of an application, including demonstrated leadership, extracurricular involvement, special talent, personal statement, recommendations, or adding a diverse dimension to our campus community.

If you are considering transferring from one of the institutions listed below, we have developed course equivalency tables to indicate how courses from various institutions will transfer to UW-La Crosse and if there are any additional program transfer agreements in place.  We also encourage you to consult the Transfer Information System to understand how courses from other UW System institutions and the Wisconsin Technical College System may transfer to UW-La Crosse.

Second Degree

A student who holds one bachelor’s degree may be admitted to the university to earn a second bachelor’s degree. Each applicant must complete the UW System application and have one official transcript sent from each university attended. Questions about earning a second bachelor's degree at UW-La Crosse should be directed to the transfer admissions counselor.
