Credit Transfer

If you are starting your degree at UWO, you don’t have to transfer any credits, your courses are already here!

Use these tools to check transfer information ahead of time

Here are various resources to help you compare how credits from UW Oshkosh may transfer to other Universities and colleges.

  • Transferology– Our top choice of tool! Enter in your UWO CAPP classes and search for matches across the country!
    • If a school isn’t listed, it’s from missing data and doesn’t mean a class won’t transfer
  • UW Oshkosh Admissions website with all formal agreements for transfer.
  • UConn Credit Transfer Database is a database compiled by the UConn Early College Experience program about transferring concurrent enrollment credits.
  • The large majority of CAPP alumni report success in transferring their CAPP credits and earning recognition of these credits. Credit recognition will vary by college or university, academic department, or your specific major. Recognition might come in the form of an equivalent course at that school, general elective credit (not specific to one class), or a waiver of a required class.

Check your Unofficial Transcript

This is an optional but recommended step before requesting your official transcript (below)

Check your Unofficial Transcript for free to see exactly what information will be on your Official Transcript. If you request your Official Transcript before everything is listed, you will probably need an additional order later, with an additional transcript fee.

Log in to TitanWeb to check your unofficial transcript: https://www.uwosh.edu/registrar/titanweb/

  • If you completed CAPP course within the last few months or are a current CAPP student, log in with your NetID as Students/Staff/Faculty.
  • If you are no longer a current CAPP student, click “Guest Login”. Your username and password are based on your legal name and your UWO Student ID number.
    • Your Username is a capital “W”, followed by your 7-digit UWO ID number.
    • Your Password is (in all capital letters) the first two letters of your first name + the first two letters of your last name + last four digits of your UWO ID
    • Example: Yasmin Khan, ID 1990109. Username is W1990109, Password is YAKH0109

order your Official Transcript

READY TO ORDER?

Transcript requests go through our Registrar’s Office and the Parchment transcript service. Click here for full instructions, otherwise the process is summarized below.

Start at this page.  https://www.uwosh.edu/registrar/alumni/transcripts/

Find the Parchment link, a couple paragraphs into the Ordering Information section.

Enter any email address where you can receive the order confirmation (doesn’t have to be UWO email). Create your account, then check your email for the confirmation code. Then, you’ll fill out a number of fields regarding your CAPP classes.

TIPS:

  • Grades are entered by your CAPP instructor after the class ends. Don’t request too early, or you’ll have to order again!
  • World Language students: If you earn a B or higher in your first level of UWO language (French, German, Japanese, Spanish), additional credits (retroactive credits) will be added to your transcript. These additional credits are posted several weeks AFTER your grades are ready. Don’t request your transcript too early, or you’ll have to order again! The official policy for these retroactive credits is linked below.
  • If you can’t find your UWO student ID number from the beginning of your class, leave it blank until you can click “I do not know or remember my Student ID”. You can then use your Social Security Number instead.
  • When searching for your college or university, avoid abbreviations; spell out all words

The last part of the order will be to pay online. The transcript fee is $10 per copy that you have ordered. Once your order is placed, you’ll get a confirmation email with an order number. You can track your order by entering that number on this page: https://www.parchment.com/students/order-status/  Your college or university should receive your transcript within 3-4 business days of your order.

Credit Transfer Misconceptions

Here are five common misconceptions and mistakes regarding the credit transfer process. Arm yourself for educated college credit decisions!

1. I am not planning to attend UWO, and my credits won’t count anywhere else

Actually: UW Oshkosh credits will transfer to over 200 schools across the country! Please refer to Transferology to see how credits might transfer to your intended school. Make sure to do this early so you have time to drop, should the credits not be recognized.

2. The credits are not in my intended major, so I don’t need them for my degree.

Actually: Even if the credits you earned at UWO are not in your intended major, they may still fill general degree requirements that are needed to graduate. Many times there is also a minimum number of total credits needed to graduate, and transferred UWO credits would add to this total!

3. I am not going to a 4-year university, so I can’t transfer my credits.

Actually: Not quite. Most CAPP courses often correspond to general education requirements, which are still needed at 2-year colleges. That said you should check Transferology ahead of time so you know if the UWO CAPP credits will work with your program.

4. All my credits automatically follow me from high school to college.

Actually: It’s on you to request your official transcript from UW Oshkosh. In that request you’ll tell us where to send your transcript (to your current/future school).

5. I did not earn the grade I wanted in my CAPP course so I won’t transfer my credits to another school.

Actually: You are required to submit all college-level course history when you apply to colleges and universities. Any grade above F earns UWO credit, but often grades below C won’t be recognized for transfer. Still, you MUST send the transcript.
