Programs without an Articulation Agreement

You have arrived at this page because the program you wish to pursue at UW does not currently have any formal/published transfer plans. this does not affect your ability to transfer to UW. 

(See: Credit Available to Undergraduate Students - University of Wyoming - Acalog ACMS™ (uwyo.edu) for more information.)

Notes:

• Students transferring with a qualifying earned associate degree may be eligible for a waiver of the majority of the lower division USP requirements. For information about qualifying associate degrees, Credit Available to Undergraduate Students - University of Wyoming - Acalog ACMS™ (uwyo.edu) and then scroll down to section titled "Articulation: Earned Associate Degrees."
• Transfer students who have completed a minimum of 30 credits of college-level coursework after graduating from high school will receive a waiver for the First Year Seminar requirement (USP: FYS). No credit is awarded with this waiver.
• US & Wyoming Constitution (USP: V): This requirement is mandated by statute and cannot be waived. Transfer students may satisfy this requirement in one of three ways:
  • Completion of a UW course that satisfies USP: V
  • Completion of a course at a Wyoming Community College that is articulated to transfer as USP: V
  • Completion of a US Constitution course at another institution and a passing grade on the Wyoming Challenge Exam administered by the Political Science Department (click on this link for more information about the Challenge Exam). 
• All students must complete the upper division portion of the USP requirement (USP: C3), with a grade of C or better. USP: C3 is an upper division requirement and cannot be satisfied by community college coursework or via the WICHE Interstate Passport. 

If you are transferring from within the State of Wyoming

You may click here to use WyoTransfer to evaluate your transfer credit. If your login credentials from your Wyoming Community College are still active, you may log in to WyoTransfer and import your community college coursework to see how your courses will transfer. (If your login credentials are no longer active, you may enter your courses manually.) 

Students entering UW Fall 2001 or later who have completed a qualifying transfer associate degree (AA, AS, ADN, or AB) from a Wyoming Community College (earned spring 2001 or later) receive credit toward completion of the majority of the lower division general education requirements included in the University Studies Program (USP). As noted above, all students must complete the USP: V and USP: C3 requirements.

If you are transferring from outside of Wyoming

You may look up your courses in the Wyoming Transfer Catalog: Change the state, and then select the appropriate college/university. If your college is not listed, or a course doesn’t have a published equivalency and you have not yet applied for admission to UW, you may request a Pre-Transfer Credit Evaluation (Pre-TCE). There are some instances in which students may not be eligible for a PreTCE (including JST transcripts, international transcripts, students who have already submitted an application, students applying for their second bachelor's degree, and graduate students).

If you are pursuing a second bachelor's degree

Students with an earned bachelor's degree from an accredited US institution seeking a second baccalaureate degree will be considered to have met the lower division UW USP program requirements with the exception of the U.S. & Wyoming Constitution requirement (USP: V). All transfer credit for these students is approved by faculty.
