Wyoming’s public colleges and university have launched a new website that makes it easier to plan and manage college credit transfer. WyoTransfer allows learners to explore the courses, programs and services offered at Wyoming’s seven community colleges — including Northwest College — and the University of Wyoming.  

The new website, at https://WyoTransfer.org, makes it easier for learners to evaluate how the credits they have already earned may transfer or apply towards an educational program at another school.

Whether learners have some college credit and no degree or no college experience at all, WyoTransfer is a one-stop shop geared toward guiding them to completion.

“We want to see everyone complete their degree and transferring between schools shouldn’t become a roadblock to college graduation,” said Wyoming Community College Commission Executive Director Sandy Caldwell. “WyoTransfer is a tool that can guide students to make informed choices about their next steps.”

Powered by AcademyOne’s workflow and publishing tools, WyoTransfer “delivers the means for learners to make better informed academic choices.” Returning adults, veterans and active-duty military can use interactive applications that include prospective degree audits, transfer course maps checks and transfer agreements. Transfer students can learn how previously earned credits will apply to programs of study and credentials. All new or returning students will have access to transfer course equivalencies, transfer agreements, admission guidelines and guidance about the college transfer process. They can also create personalized accounts and request more information from each of the colleges across the state and the university.  

WyoTransfer allows learners to search for programs, courses or course equivalencies by institution. The new TransferCheck app lets them see exactly how their courses will be accepted for transfer credit and count toward general education and major degree requirements.

“AcademyOne worked with us to develop a comprehensive tool that, for the first time, allows learners the opportunity to quickly and easily see how their college credits will transfer to any of the participating schools,” said Caldwell. “People will find this new tool advantageous in continuing their education and completing their degree.”  

In addition to WyoTransfer, the University of Wyoming recently announced the development of a Universal 2+2 agreement format with all Wyoming community colleges. It’s intended to streamline the development and maintenance of articulation agreements throughout the state.

“2-Plus-2 agreements and the addition of WyoTransfer have significantly improved transferability among and between all of our state’s public institutions,” Caldwell said.
