Transfer of Credits

1. An official evaluation of credits is made after the student is admitted to the college.
2. Courses in which a student receives a “D” grade or lower do not transfer.
3. Any transfer student who has not fulfilled Edgewood’s English composition and mathematics requirements must take placement tests upon entry.
4. A maximum of 60 semester hours can be transferred from all junior colleges or two-year campuses attended.
5. Students who receive an Associate of Arts and Science Degree in Liberal Studies from one of the University of Wisconsin Colleges or who have received an Associate of Arts or Science Degree from Madison Area Technical College will be considered to have fulfilled all of Edgewood College’s General Education requirements except Foreign Language, Religious Studies, Human Issues, and computer proficiency. This policy does not apply to students who were enrolled at Edgewood College prior to attending these institutions or who start taking courses at Edgewood College prior to finishing their Associate Degree.
6. Courses that are repeated are counted only once in total credits earned. If a student repeats a course at Edgewood which was previously accepted for credit at the time of transfer, the transferred credits will be removed from the student’s record.
7. To earn a degree, a minimum of 32 semester hours must be earned at Edgewood College, including required work in the major. Each department determines the number of credits that must be earned at Edgewood by those who apply for advanced study in that department.
8. Some departments have admission requirements beyond those needed for general admission. See requirements for individual schools and departments.
9. All records of transcripts received by the college become the property of the college and will not be released to the student, nor will copies be made.
10. Failure to submit complete and official copies of all previous academic credentials constitutes academic misrepresentation and will cause an offer of admission to be revoked.
