Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau

Current law directs the board of regents of the University of Wisconsin (UW) System to establish policies for the appropriate transfer of credits between institutions within the system.

This bill provides that, upon the transfer of a student within the system, the center or institution in which the student is enrolled must grant credit toward graduation for any course successfully completed at the center or institution from which the student transferred.
