relating
2to: transfer of nursing course credits between the University of Wisconsin
3System and the Technical College System.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law authorizes the Board of Regents of the University of Wisconsin
(UW) System to establish policies for the appropriate transfer of credits: 1) between
four-year UW System colleges; 2) between four-year and two-year UW System
colleges; and 3) between the UW System colleges and colleges outside of the UW
System.
This bill requires the Board of Regents of the UW System to work with technical
college district boards to ensure that credits earned in UW System nursing courses
are accepted for transfer by technical colleges. The bill also requires each technical
college district board to work with the UW System to ensure that credits earned in
technical college nursing courses are accepted for transfer by the UW System. The
bill first applies in the academic year that begins at least 60 months following
enactment.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
