Unsure Which UWM Campus To Attend?
Did you apply to a UWM campus but want to switch to a different UWM campus? If it’s before classes have started for the semester, you can make a campus change request. Just complete the short form here. Please note that if you were denied admission to the UW-Milwaukee campus, this form will not be processed.
Are you planning to transfer to a UWM campus after already attending classes at another UWM location? Apply to transfer the semester before. If you‘re currently enrolled at UWM at Washington County or UWM at Waukesha as a degree-seeking student and wish to transfer to the Milwaukee campus for the following term, complete the Internal Transfer Form. Only complete this form the semester before you intend to transfer. During peak times, you may expect to wait 4-6 weeks for a decision.
If you have any questions about this form, the transfer process, or your transfer credits, contact Rose Gostas at crgostas@uwm.edu.
