Transfer Credit Reverse Lookup now available for students, advisers

Learning and Technology Services and the Admissions Office have collaborated in creating the Transfer Credit Reverse Lookup system to be used by current and prospective students as well as academic advisers who wish to look up transfer equivalencies.

The new Transfer Credit Reverse Lookup complements the already-existing UW-Eau Claire Transfer Credit Wizard. Below are descriptions of both systems:
 
Transfer Credit Reverse Lookup
Use the reverse lookup to enter a UW-Eau Claire course and see which courses at other institutions transfer here as that equivalency. For example, enter UW-Eau Claire’s course ECON 103 to determine which courses at other institutions have an equivalent for that course. UW-La Crosse’s equivalent course is ECON 190. The Transfer Credit Reverse Lookup provides transfer equivalencies for in-state, out-of-state and international schools.

The reverse lookup can be helpful for currently enrolled UW-Eau Claire students who want to take a course at home during Summer Session or Winterim that will count toward UW-Eau Claire degree requirements.

 

Access the new Transfer Credit Reverse Lookup as follows:

• At http://transfermycredits.uwec.edu. (Note: Users must be logged off CampS to view this public link.)  
• From the Admissions website at http://www.uwec.edu/Admissions/transfer.htm. (Click on the Transfer Credit Wizard icon.)
• From CampS: Under Self Service, select Transfer Credit Reverse Lookup.

Transfer Credit Wizard
Use the Transfer Credit Wizard to enter courses from another institution and see how they should transfer to UW-Eau Claire. The Transfer Credit Wizard provides transfer equivalencies for in-state, out-of-state and international schools.

The Transfer Credit Wizard can be helpful for prospective students to determine how courses at another institution should transfer to UW-Eau Claire.
 
Access the new Transfer Credit Reverse Lookup as follows:
