Credit Evaluation
Transfer students will receive an official credit evaluation after admission to UW-Green Bay. The accreditation status of the previous institution(s) attended and the quality of student achievement are factors for determining course and credit transferability.
Credit evaluations are started after all transcripts have arrived at UW-Green Bay and the student has been admitted; the final evaluation is held until a final transcript showing grades from the last term is received.
