Course
Wizard Tutorial:
Interpreting Your Transfer Report
The
following is a sample report generated by the TIS Credit
Transfer Wizard Program. Depending on which wizard you choose,
your report will have different information, especially if you
choose to match all courses in department , which will display
multiple rows of courses between your chosen campuses.
Click
on the numbered circles to read an extended definition for each
area of the transfer report.
Transfer
Report Areas Key
|
1.
Report Heading - This heading shows what transfer
information you requested and when you requested it.
You can count on the TIS course transfer information
being correct for the current time-period. Usually,
it will also apply if you took the course in the recent
past or plan to take the course in the near future.

| |
|
|
2.
From Campus Course info - Here are courses that
can be taken at the campus from which you are transferring.
|
| |
|
|
3.
To Campus Course info - These are the matching
courses at the campus to which you are transferring.
In some cases, a course will not have a direct match
but will transfer as elective credit, will transfer
in some other way or may not transfer for credit.
|
| |
|
|
4.
Credits - This area reports how many credits you'll
receive when the course is transferred. If a course
is a variable credit course (e.g. sometimes offered
for 3 credits, other times for 4), the range of credits
offered will be listed on the report. When students
transfer variable credit courses, they generally receive
the number of credits for which they took the course.

5.
Level - Level is used to indicate the degree of
difficulty of the course. Clicking on the letter in
the Level Column connects with the key at the bottom
of the report.
Note:
Some UW campuses require that you take a set number
of credits at a particular academic level in order
to graduate. For example, you may need to take 40
credits of upper level (or upper division) courses
- i.e. junior/senior level courses. Or you may need
60 credits in intermediate or advanced level courses.

|
| 6.
Gen Ed - Everyone needs to take some General Education
(Gen Ed) courses in order to graduate. The information
in this column links to a key at the bottom of the report,
which specifies the Gen Ed category that the course may
count toward (e.g. social science, humanities). |
| |
|
|
7.
Special Conditions - If a number appears underneath
this heading, you should click on it to read any warnings
or special instructions related to the transfer of the
given course. If "Future" appears in this
column, it means that the matching course at the transfer
school will become effective in a future term.

8.
Level Key - This is a key to the abbreviations that
may be listed in the Level Column. In the sample report
above, the courses transfer for E or Elementary level
credit. (See explanation for Level above.)
Some UW Campuses designate their Levels this way:
•
P = Preparatory
• L = Lower
• U = Upper
Other
UW’s use these Level Designations:
•
P = Preparatory
• E = Elementary
• I = Intermediate
• A = Advanced
• D = Intermediate or Advanced
|

9.
Gen Ed (General Education Categories) Key - This
area connects with any linked information in the Gen
Ed column. In this example, one course transfer for
H - Humanities credit while another counts for S - Social
Studies credit. (See explanation for Gen Ed above.)
While all UW campuses have General Education requirements,
their specific Gen Ed categories and symbols differ.

|
| 10.
Special Conditions Section - This area links to numbers
listed in the Special Conditions column. These are important
because they provide warnings or special instructions
relating to the transfer of a given course. |
