How to Apply

Your Credit Evaluation
Once you’ve been admitted, submitted all required transcripts and paid your enrollment deposit, UW-Superior will complete your official transfer credit evaluation. Only official transcripts received directly from your previous institution can be used for this evaluation — though you’re welcome to submit unofficial transcripts to [email protected] for a preliminary review before you apply.
Courses transfer with a grade of D- or higher, though some programs require a C or better. Keep course descriptions, syllabi and catalog information from your previous school, as these materials may be needed to determine how your credits apply toward your degree.
Transfer Agreements
Your previous college experience may go further than you think.
UW-Superior has established transfer agreements with universities, community colleges, technical colleges and tribal colleges across Wisconsin, Minnesota and beyond. These agreements help students transfer credits and continue working toward their degrees. Depending on the agreement, earning an associate degree may also satisfy your general education requirements at UW-Superior.
Preliminary Credit Review – Before applying, students can submit unofficial transcripts to Admissions for a preliminary review.
Official Credit Evaluation – After admission, submission of required official transcripts and the enrollment deposit, UW-Superior completes the official evaluation.

Credit for Prior Learning
Your experience outside the classroom has value, too. UW-Superior recognizes learning from work, life or military experience — and lets you apply it toward your degree so you’re not paying for coursework you’ve already mastered.
