Can I transfer courses taken as a Special student toward degree programs at UW-Madison?
The degree program you apply to must decide whether credits taken as a Special student will count toward a future degree at UW-Madison. For undergraduates the Office of Undergraduate Admissions will determine at the point of admission whether credits taken as a Special student will count toward a degree. In many cases credit taken as a Special student will transfer into your undergraduate program, but the specifics will depend on the program you are entering, the number of credits you earn as a Special, and the number of credits you need for an undergraduate degree at UW-Madison. Students who intend to transfer to UW-Madison should apply directly through the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, as that is the only office that can evaluate your transfer credit. For graduate students there is no university-wide policy on whether credits taken as a Special will count toward a graduate degree. Some departments do not accept any credits, and others take only a limited number of credits. You
