Overview

Moraine Park Technical College and the University of Wisconsin-Parkside will cooperate in the delivery of courses and the transfer of credits to help meet the post secondary educational needs of the population of Wisconsin.

Provisions:

 

• Admission. It is the student’s responsibility to demonstrate fulfillment of the current admission requirements of UW-Parkside at the time of entry. Moraine Park students may apply for admission to UW-Parkside upon completion of 15 credits in the General Studies Transfer Certificate with a 2.0 GPA.

Each institution will assume responsibility for appropriate marketing to reach its student population. Each institution may provide a link to this agreement and/or the other institution at its website, with notice to the other party.

 

• Accreditation. Both parties agree that failure to maintain regional accreditation will be grounds for termination of the agreement.
