Summer Course Equivalency Service
This is a reminder that the Summer Course Equivalency Service (SCES) will be available to students from March 1 - May 15. SCES is an optional service for currently enrolled UW-Madison students who plan to complete summer course work at another institution. It provides information on how summer course work will transfer back to UW-Madison. As always, we will pre-equate a maximum of four courses per student. Please remind students that the total number of credits taken for summer study cannot exceed the total number of weeks the summer session lasts, up to a maximum of 12 credits. Students will not be granted credit for courses that exceed this limit.
SCES requests will be handled electronically. Paper forms from previous years will not be accepted. All SCES requests should be submitted online at here. Results will be e-mailed to students’ Wiscmail accounts within three weeks of the submission date. Some course equivalency information is already available online. Students should be sure to check the Transfer Information System (http://tis.uwsa.edu/index.html) if they will attend a UW System school or Wisconsin Technical College, or the Transfer Equivalency Database (http://www.admissions.wisc.edu/transfer/ted/) if they will attend select community colleges in Minnesota and Illinois.
There is a change this year regarding international study in China. Students that wish to study in an English-language based summer program in China, must arrange for a verification report of the university transcript with the China Academic Degree and Graduate Education Development Center (CDGDC) before any transfer credit will be granted. These summer programs are often run in third-party collaboration with the campus hosting the program. Because they are not part of a university degree program, they may not be recognized by the Chinese Ministry of Education. UW-Madison will consider summer transfer credit only once the coursework is certified by CDGDC. For this reason, SCES requests for summer coursework in China will not be honored.
