UW, Central Wyoming College Launch Express Transfer Agreement

The University of Wyoming and Central Wyoming College (CWC) have launched a new collaborative effort designed to help CWC students in select majors complete their UW degrees more efficiently.

The Express Transfer Agreement (ETA) program allows CWC students in designated programs to be co-admitted to and co-advised by the university, streamlining the transfer of CWC credits toward UW degrees while providing CWC students the opportunity to participate in UW sporting events, concerts, cultural experiences and other campus activities.

"The University of Wyoming is delighted to be part of this innovative partnership with our valued community college partner, Central Wyoming College," UW President Ed Seidel says. "This program creates even smoother pathways for students to earn their associate degree and then complete their bachelor's degree at UW. Our hope is that this pilot will grow to include more areas of study and benefit students across Wyoming."

"This is an exciting opportunity for our students and demonstrates both institutions' continued commitment to supporting and improving the transfer process," CWC President Brad Tyndall says. "Through the co-advising model and clear program alignment, this partnership will help prepare our students for success as they pursue advanced degrees and transition into their careers."

The ETA program is available to students who enroll at CWC starting this fall and aspire to earn bachelor's degrees in the following areas: communication, English, psychology, business, elementary education, computer science and social work.

A key feature of the program is co-advising, in which CWC students will be assigned advisers from both CWC and UW. Students will receive regular guidance and communication from both institutions. Once students earn their associate degrees, they will automatically transition to full UW student status and register for the next semester with a clear understanding of the coursework required to complete a UW bachelor's degree.
