Admitted transfer student next steps
If you have been admitted to the University as a transfer student, congratulations! We hope that you will find UW-La Crosse to be the perfect fit as you work to complete your college education.
To review important information regarding your admission and next steps, select the appropriate term below:
As an admitted transfer student, your next step is to submit a $100 enrollment deposit. Please follow the instructions as outlined in your admissions packet. This step must be completed to reserve your space in our transfer class and to have your credits evaluated for transfer. Note: Criteria such as number of schools attended and/or number of credits earned may extend time necessary to complete your transfer credit report.
Once your transfer credit report is complete, we will notify you via email and direct you to your WINGS Student Center where you can view your transfer credit report. See the transfer credit report narrative for assistance in understanding your transfer credit report.
Please click here for more information about our Transfer Credit Policies, including information about Advanced Placement (AP), College Level Exam Program (CLEP), and International Baccalaureate (IB) credits.
Credit is awarded for college-level course work completed at institutions accredited by a regional or national accrediting organization recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). (Foreign institutions must be recognized by the Ministry of Education in that country.) Courses must be similar in nature, level, and content to a course in our undergraduate curriculum and applicable to one of our academic programs. Continuing education courses, graduate-level courses, and courses that are remedial, technical, vocational, or doctrinal in nature are not transferable.
If you are 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.
UW System Placement testing may be required to enroll in English, mathematics, and Spanish courses.
Review additional information on the Placement Testing for Transfer Students handout.

The Eagle ID Card is UW-La Crosse's official ID Card. It is University policy that all students and staff have an official University ID Card. This card can be obtained and replaced at the Card Office at 1131 Student Union. For your first card please bring some form of identification with you. This could be a driver's license, state issued ID, passport, military ID, permanent resident alien card, non-immigrant visa, certificate of U.S. naturalization, or Mexican consular card.
Use your Eagle ID to vote?
Remember: They expire for voting two years after being issued
You can use your Eagle ID to vote in Wisconsin — but the ID is only good for voting up to two years after it is issued.
If you plan to use your Eagle ID to vote in this fall’s election (August primary and November general election) be sure to check when it was issued. Eligibility to use the Eagle ID for voting expires two years after it is issued.
Wisconsin residents can still use their Drivers License to vote. Out-of-state students voting in La Crosse can use their Eagle ID. Get complete voter ID info at: https://www.bringitwisconsin.com/
Students may get a new Eagle ID for voting purposes for free. Simply stop by the card office in 1131 Student Union. Once your photo is taken, a new Eagle ID is available within a few minutes. Get complete EAGLE ID info at: https://www.uwlax.edu/university-centers/services/eagle-id-card/eagle-id/
Some uses for the Eagle ID card include
