In response to common transfer student questions and concerns, the university has adopted policies to specifically support transfer students during this unprecedented time. Please review the links below as appropriate. If you have questions about these policies or other unique situations, please reach out to us at transfer@uwyo.edu.
S/U Grading and Course Transfer
During Spring 2020 and beyond, many institutions nationally switched grading for courses
from letter grades to S/U or Pass/Fail. At some institutions, students were given
the option of changing, while other students were mandated to accept S/U grading.
With questions about the transferrability of these courses, the university established
procedures to clarify that S/U courses will be accepted as if they were letter grades
and will meet degree requirements. Policy statements from Transfer Student Success
and Academic Affairs are below.

Students Taking Classes at Other Institutions
Given our campus closure in the spring semester, as well as the move to virtual learning
for many summer/fall classes, some students have inquired about taking courses at
other institutions in order to expedite the completion of their UW degree. As a general
rule, UW is a transfer-friendly institution and will accept credit from other institutions,
even after a student has already begun their UW degree program. With that said, students
should check with their advisor and our transfer evaluation tools to make sure the
courses taken at other institutions will, in fact, meet degree requirements at UW.
To facilitate this discussion, we have a form from our Office of the Registrar to
identify courses which a student might wish to take at another institution AND how
those courses will transfer. A student should discuss external transfer courses with
their UW advisor to ensure the classes will fully meet their UW degree requirements.
