Approval Process
A Chair, Dean, or Provost interested in creating an agreement contacts the Transfer Services Coordinator to discuss agreement options (Transfer Guide, Articulation Agreement, or Memorandum of Understanding) and existing course equivalencies.
An Interdisciplinary Unit Executive Committee, Dean, or Provost prepares a proposal following the guidelines established by UW System and described in UW System Administrative Policy 140 (formerly ACIS 6.2) UW System Guidelines For Articulation Agreements Between UW System Institutions And WTCS Districts. The Transfer Services Coordinator assists the preparers to accurately identify courses that will transfer and how they will transfer.
The proposal is sent to the Transfer Services Coordinator for review. Revisions may be made and sent back to the Chair, Dean, or Provost for approval.
The Dean reviews the proposal and forwards all to the Registrar for review and recommendation.
After review and recommendation or non-recommendation by the Registrar, the Dean has the option of approving the proposal, not approving the proposal or requesting changes to the proposal. When approved by the Dean, the final draft proposal is submitted to the AVC for Policy and Compliance for approval. Revisions may be requested.
When approved by the AVC for Policy and Compliance, the proposal is submitted to the Provost and Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs (or designee) for approval. If not approved, the proposal is returned to the Dean.
The Provost (or designee) reviews the proposal and all recommendations and, if approved, obtains all necessary approval signatures from the institution(s) participating in the agreement. If not approved, the proposal is returned to the Dean.
Once approved, the Provost (or designee) notifies the Dean, the Program Chair, the Registrar, the Transfer Services Coordinator, and the AVC for Policy and Compliance that a new program-to-program agreement has been established.
