Transfer of Credit from Other Institutions

Central Wyoming College will evaluate for transfer credit freshman and sophomore college-level courses completed with a “C” or better at regionally accredited institutions of higher education and may consider, on an individual basis, college-level studies from institutions that are not regionally accredited. Special Topics courses will not be transferred.

Students may use coursework accepted by CWC to satisfy graduation requirements; however, CWC does not use transferred coursework to calculate cumulative grade point averages, nor to determine academic standing. CWC encourages transfer students to provide course descriptions of completed classes and college catalogs from other institutions. The granting of transfer credit does not automatically imply acceptance of those credits to specific degrees since requirements vary from program to program. Transfer credit granted by Central Wyoming College does not imply those credits will be accepted and transfer to other institutions.

Students are limited to earning a maximum of 75% of the credits in their declared program through Credit for Prior Learning or Transfer Credit.

Students wishing an evaluation of collegiate work for transfer should:

• Request institutions previously attended send official transcripts directly from the institution to:

  Student Records Office
  Central Wyoming College
  2660 Peck Avenue
  Riverton, Wyoming 82501

• Have a current CWC admission application on file.
• A transfer of credit evaluation is required by all CWC transfer students applying for financial aid.

Upon receipt, the Registrar will complete the evaluation. This evaluation will become part of the student’s permanent file.
