Can I take courses at other schools to transfer to UW-Madison while enrolled in UW-Madison Online courses?
Yes. It is very important to work closely with your advisor(s) to make sure the courses you are taking at other schools will transfer to UW–Madison and fulfill the requirements you want to complete. You can also check Transferology to see how courses transfer.
If you are currently a UW–Madison Online student receiving financial aid and would like to take some courses at another school, you may be eligible to use a consortium agreement.
A consortium agreement is an agreement between two schools where your home school – UW–Madison – will provide financial aid while you temporarily take classes at another institution (host school).
