How long will it take for me to finish my degree?

The time it takes to finish your degree depends on how many credits you transfer, how many credits apply to your remaining degree requirements, how many credits you take per session, course availability and/or if you take time off in between sessions. With five different sessions, you may take one course at a time or multiple courses at a time, depending on what works for you.

Before you register for classes, you will meet with a UW–Madison Online academic and career advisor to review how your transfer credits apply to your degree requirements and how many credits you have left. Your advisors will help you plan your time to finish your degree; they will help make sure you take the right courses that you need at the right time.
