Transfer student coordinators (TSCs) are current UW-Madison students who have been through the transfer process before. TSCs can meet with you at any point in your transition such as before you transfer, once you’ve been accepted, and after you’ve enrolled. Transfer student coordinators are not professional advisors, and have limits on advising around degree pathways, course recommendations, and more. See what transfer student coordinators can and cannot answer during an appointment in the accordion panel below.

Ways to Connect with Professional Staff
If you are looking for information on the admissions process or admissibility to the university, we recommend making an appointment with a transfer counselor at the Office of Admissions: calendly.com/futurebadger/transfer-meeting
Additionally, some school and college advising offices have the capacity to work with prospective students. A link to each of their websites is located in the Additional Resources section on the Prospective Students page.
If you are an admitted or deferred student, you will meet with a professional advisor at Student Orientation, Advising, & Registration (SOAR).
