Transfer to L&S From Within UW–Madison
Changing the Setting, Not the Story
New setting. New characters. Same ambitious author. UW–Madison students currently in a UW–Madison school/college may decide to transfer to the College of Letters & Science to pursue one of our degree plans. Current students, if eligible, can transfer to L&S by following the guidelines and steps below:
L&S Transfer Eligibility Guidelines
- Students must have a 2.0 cumulative GPA at UW–Madison and a 2.0 in their most recent semester at UW–Madison, including summer term.
- New students who do not have an established UW–Madison GPA may request to transfer into L&S during their first term on campus.
- A dropped student must be readmitted by the original school or college prior to initiating an L&S transfer.
Transfer Deadlines
Deadlines to transfer to L&S are determined by the Office of the Registrar.
Generally, the transfer deadline for any given term tends to fall around the term’s final drop deadline.

- Step 2: Carefully review the L&S Transfer Workshop presentation and complete the online Transfer Request Form linked at the end of the document.
