Transferring to River Falls is a great way to get started on finishing your degree.  Each year, over 600 new transfer students find the right fit at River Falls in one of over 40 majors and programs.  

Below, in one of the three categories, you will find information on how we accept credit in transfer from a number of institutions across Wisconsin and Minnesota.

Transfer Evaluation System

The Transfer Evaluation System (TES) is designed as a resource for viewing how credits transfer from many of our most popular transfer institutions.  On TES you can view an A-Z list of institutions and follow the links to view a list of courses that transfer to River Falls at each individual institution.  In some cases we have guides for General Education and for students going into the College of Business and Economics.

Transfer Information System

The UW Transfer Information System (TIS) is a computer system designed to provide potential transfer students from other UW Institutions with information on what courses transfer within the UW System. 

Other Transfer Guides

River Falls is continuing to build articulation agreements with a variety of institutions and list them in our Transfer Evaluation System.  As we continue to do so please use this page to view a list of all other transfer guides.

Articulation Agreements

UW-River Falls offers articulation agreements with a variety of community college, technical colleges and universities. This list includes transfer articulation agreements between other colleges and specific degree programs at UW-River Falls.  For complete details of any of these agreements, contact your program adviser at your college or the UW-River Falls Admissions Office.

AP, CLEP, and International Baccalaureate

Additionally, River Falls grants credit based on a variety of exams, including Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate, and the College-Level Examination Program (CLEP). UWRF does not award credit for these exams that have been recorded on a previous institution's transcript. The student should have the scores sent directly from the testing agency to River Falls.
