The principle
Credits transfer best when they map to a specific Porter course. Finish your English composition, math, science, and social-science general-education requirements at your current school — they almost always come across — and hold off on narrow major courses until an advisor confirms how they'll count.
Talk to Porter early
Transfer admissions counselors will review your plan before you apply and tell you which courses to take and which to skip. Following an articulation agreement or a published transfer pathway for your major is the surest way to arrive with junior standing and no lost credits.
In and around Porter Falls
Most families reach campus from the west on US 12 or by regional coach into the Depot District, and the Welcome Center at the Depot is where visits start.
The practical details
Use: The transfer credit preview tool and the articulation agreements with Wesconsin and Minnesota colleges. Prioritize: General-education courses and clear pre-major requirements that transfer as direct equivalents. Be cautious with: Special-topics courses, one-off electives, and anything above the intro level in your intended major before you're admitted. Anything time-sensitive — an accommodation, a booking, a deadline — is worth confirming directly before you rely on it, because the specifics here can change from term to term.
If you have a question
The office behind this is Office of Admissions (Welcome Center at the Depot). Call (715) 555–0143 or email admissions@uwporterfalls.edu during the fall and spring terms, or sign in to MyPorter to send a message or book a time. If it turns out another office owns the question, they will route it rather than send you back to the start.
