Take Your Chippewa Valley Technical College Education Further
This Agreement is entered into between Chippewa Valley Technical College (hereinafter sending institution), and the University of Wisconsin-Stout, Menomonie, WI (hereinafter receiving institution). This Agreement, and any amendments and supplements, shall be interpreted pursuant to the guidelines set forth in SYS-140: UW-System Templates for Articulation Agreements between UW System Institutions and WTCS Districts as well as the Universities of Wisconsin Policy on the Development of Transfer Agreements. Both institutions agree to maintain accreditation by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools and any other accreditation currently in existence pertaining to degree programs articulated via the transfer agreement.
The sending institution has established an A.A.S. Manufacturing Engineering Technologist (hereinafter sending program), and the receiving institution has established a B.S. Automation Leadership (hereinafter receiving program) and will facilitate credit transfer and provide a smooth transition from one related program to another. It is mutually agreed:
Admission and Graduation Requirements
- The receiving institution’s admission and program admission requirements apply to both direct entry students and to students who transfer under this agreement.
- Students must fulfill the graduation requirements at both institutions including completion of a minimum of 32 credits in residency from UW-Stout to receive a degree from UW-Stout.
- Students must complete the entire sending program and meet the receiving institution’s admission requirements for the agreement to apply.
Students must be concurrently enrolled in or have completed the Smart Automation Certification Alliance (SACA) core upon admission into the receiving institution’s program.
Transfer of Credits
The receiving institution will apply 81 of the 81 credits from the sending program (AAS + SACA). A total of 39 credits remain to complete the receiving program.
Courses will transfer as described in the attached Program Articulation Table with remaining credits being outlined as dictated in the appropriate Section C.
To provide flexibility to students pursuing this pathway, students can choose to receive the 21 credits for the SACA certification in one of the following three ways:
- Transfer 21 credits from the sending institution or other technical college partners.
- Receive the SACA certification through other options (i.e., industry partners that offer the SACA certification exam). Students following this pathway will utilize Prior Learning Credit either through a technical college partner or UW-Stout to earn credit.
- A combination of the options above.
Elective courses taken or substituted at the sending institution and within the sending program not listed in this agreement will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and determined whether they may apply to the degree at the receiving institution.
Implementation and Review
- The Provost, Dean, Program Director, or designees of the parties to this agreement will implement the terms of this agreement, including identifying and incorporating any changes into subsequent agreements, assuring compliance with system policy, procedure, and guidelines, and conducting a periodic review of this agreement.
- This Articulation Agreement is effective on 10/15/2024 and shall remain in effect until the end date of 10/15/2029 or for five years, whichever occurs first, unless terminated or amended by either party with 90 days prior written notice.
- The college and university shall work with students to resolve the transfer of courses should changes to either program occur while the agreement is in effect.
- This Articulation Agreement will be reviewed by both parties beginning 04/15/2029 (six months prior to the end date).
- When a student enrolls at the receiving institution following this agreement, the receiving institution will encode any course waivers and substitutions.
- This articulation agreement applies only to the receiving program in effect Spring 2027 until revised.
