Special Considerations:
1. Students are only eligible to participate in this agreement if transferring from NTC and
formally accepted into the UWSP Social Work Program either prior to, or subsequent to,
their transfer. This acceptance requires a formal application process on the part of the
student.
2. The acceptance of credits applies only to this Program-to-Program Articulation.
3. For acceptance of equivalent courses, NTC courses must have been completed within the
last five years. Beyond this period of time, course equivalents will be evaluated on an
individual basis.
4. This agreement is subject to review if either NTC or UWSP undergoes curriculum
revision OR within five years of the origination of this agreement, whichever occurs
earlier.
