According to UW–Madison, CMN President Christopher Caldwell, and other CMN leadership met recently with UW-Madison Interim Chancellor Karl Scholz for the signing of the latest transfer agreement.

The contract allows a qualified student to begin postsecondary education as a freshman at CMN and be guaranteed admission as a transfer student at UW–Madison after completing three academic years, or 60 transferable credits.

The renewal marks the third time the historic contract has been signed between CMN and UW–Madison, with the first campus-to-campus agreement taking place in 2007.

College transfer dot net notes that a student’s chances of successfully transferring are improved when community colleges and four-year institutions work together to ensure that the majority of credits earned at the community college count toward their degree.

In 2020 and 2021, UW–Madison, and CMN partnered alongside Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe College on a first-ever triple partnership for a USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture New Beginnings for Tribal Students grant to create educational pathways for the three land grant institutions.

Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe College is one of two tribal colleges in the state of Wisconsin.
