Transferring College Credits

UWW accepts all transfer credit for courses taken through an accredited institution at grade C or above. There is no limit on how far back that learning goes.

Because all UWW students receive Skidmore degrees, we believe that it is essential for all students to have sufficient exposure to Skidmore learning without compromising the flexibility for which UWW is known. To this end, all Skidmore UWW students need to take at least six credits in course work with Skidmore faculty members and also complete a six-credit final project as part of their degree plans. The Skidmore courses a student completes can be online, in class, or by independent study with Skidmore faculty members.

Experiential Learning Credit
Your life and work experience can be a part of your UWW program. Credit is awarded for life experiences equivalent to what you might have learned in a college classroom. Incorporate life experiences into your UWW program by submitting a written narrative for evaluation, describing what you learned and how the learning took place. For certain types of learning, a portfolio assessment may be appropriate.

Foreign Language Credit
Students with prior language experience may be given foreign language credit by examination. Demonstrated proficiency in your native language can also qualify for up to 12 credits.

College Level Examination Program Credit
UWW recognizes the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), sponsored by the College Board. CLEP offers the opportunity for you to earn credit for what you already know, through a examination system. Credits are accepted from both general and subject exams, conditional on test scores. To find a CLEP test center near you, go to www.collegeboard.com/clep/.
