  • Want to start in the fall semester (September)? The form is available starting a year prior from September to August.  
  • Want to start in the spring semester (January)? The form is available starting May through December. 
  • Utilize the Internal Transfer Lookup to see how your credits will transfer from one UWM campus location to the other.
