UW-Fond du Lac and Marian University sign Articulation Agreement

Posted 8/14/09 - On Friday, August 14, representatives of the University of Wisconsin-Fond du Lac, University of Wisconsin Colleges and Marian University signed an articulation agreement that clarifies transfer of credits between the institutions.

The agreement provides assurances to students from the UW Colleges, which includes UW-Fond du Lac, how their records will transfer. The UW Colleges is comprised of 13 freshman/sophomore campuses serving 13,000 students across the state of Wisconsin.

Under the agreement, Marian University will accept up to a maximum of 64 credits in transfer if the student has completed all requirements and received an Associate of Arts & Science degree from UW-Fond du Lac or another University of Wisconsin Colleges campus. Those students will have satisfied all Marian University general education liberal arts core requirements except the basic Theology requirement.

Neither individual grades for classes nor GPA will be transferred to Marian, and in certain programs (e.g., nursing) a minimum grade of “C” must be achieved for a particular course to transfer.

“I believe this agreement creates a wonderful foundation for Marian University and the University of Wisconsin Colleges to be better neighbors and partners in the education of Wisconsin citizens. It is an exciting opportunity that has been long in coming,” says Dr. Daniel Maloney, provost at Marian University.

Sister Mary Mollison, president of Marian University, stated, “We are delighted by the cooperative spirit of Dr. Greg Lampe, Dean Goldsmith, faculty and staff at the University of Wisconsin-Fond du Lac and Marian University.”

“This agreement between the UW Colleges and Marian University will provide UW Colleges students across Wisconsin wishing to pursue a bachelor’s degree with another viable option for transfer,” stated Dr. Greg Lampe, provost, University of Wisconsin Colleges.

This is the first time an institution-wide agreement has been reached between Marian and the University of Wisconsin Colleges.
