Transfers+and+AP

=**Transfers from other Institutions**=

Students transferring from other UW campuses should consult this website to see if their courses are listed: @http://tis.uwsa.edu/will/

Students from MN and IL should go here: []

It is possible to create a new equivalency in the database of courses (or remove an outdated one). Contact Mary Schey at transfer@admissions.wisc.edu or 2-3961.

**Credit Transfer note:**
If a class transfers as X amount of credits, that is the amount of credits it must remain, regardless of how many original credits that class was worth. Ex: a student took a 5 cr. class at UW-Lacrosse -- UW transferred the class as the equivalent of a 4 cr. class at UW-Madison. It is not possible to "retrieve the lost credit."

=**AP (Advanced Placement)**=


 * Advanced Placement** college credit may be earned through special outside courses taken in high school. Currently there is one AP Geography class offered nationally: Human Geography. Our department does not grant any specific credit for AP Geography courses, rather we grant credit as "Geography electives". Students can count these electives toward their 30 cr. of Geography courses, but only by DARS exception.

AP exam scores determine the number of credits. For Geography, credit is granted as follows:

score: 3 - 3 credits, no breadth credit, shows up as X12 on DARS/transcript score: 4, 5 - 3 credits, Social Science breadth credit, shows up as X22 on DARS/transcript
