Off-Campus Summer Study

General Policy

Questions concerning the transfer of credit from other institutions may be discussed with Bonnie Schmidt, Transfer Admissions Coordinator, 1150 Engineering Hall.

Continuing students in engineering are free to register for any summer program of study for which they qualify.

Students will not be allowed to transfer credit for more than one credit per week for the regular 8-week summer session and no more than 12 credits total for a summer session which includes two 6-week terms. If a student takes more they will not transfer.

Students must complete courses with a grade of "C" or better.

It is assumed that students will register at an accredited institution, that those courses taken are appropriate to their degree program, and that they do not duplicate work previously completed.

Seniors in the College of Engineering must complete their last two semesters as regular semesters in residence in the College of Engineering as full-time students unless a dean permits a student to take one or two courses at another institution.

Procedures

1. If you are taking courses at one of the UW System campuses, use the Transfer Information System.

2. Go online to find the school and possible course(s) you wish to take. (Make sure they are offering them before you fill out the form in step 3).

3. Print off a course description of any courses you plan to take or provide a specific web site page(s) with the information.

4. Fill out a COURSE APPROVAL FORM FOR OFF-CAMPUS STUDY in the EGR Office, 1150 Engineering Hall, and submit it along with the course description from step 2.

5. Stop by the EGR Office, 1150 Engineering Hall, three to four days later to pick up the approved form with transfer information about the credits.

If you plan to take advanced courses in your major, you will need to get departmental approval on the COURSE APPROVAL FORM FOR OFF-CAMPUS STUDY.

Upon completion of your summer courses, have an official transcript sent to Bonnie H. Schmidt, 1150 Engineering Hall for evaluation. The appropriate credit will then be added to your permanent record. You can check MyUW to make sure it has been added.
