Central Wyoming College and University of Wyoming Launch Express Transfer Agreement
Riverton, Wyo. — Central Wyoming College (CWC) and the University of Wyoming (UW) have launched a new collaborative effort designed to aid CWC students in select majors complete their UW degrees more efficiently. The Express Transfer Agreement (ETA) program, announced on March 23, 2026, streamlines the transfer process and provides additional benefits for CWC students.
Streamlined Transfer Process and Co-Advising
The ETA program allows CWC students in designated programs to be co-admitted to and co-advised by the University of Wyoming. This co-advising model ensures a clear pathway for credit transfer and provides students with guidance from both institutions. Students will receive regular communication and support from advisors at both CWC and UW, facilitating a smoother transition to UW upon earning their associate degree. Upon completion of their associate degree, students will automatically transition to full UW student status and register for the subsequent semester with a clear understanding of the coursework needed to complete their bachelor’s degree.
Program Availability and Eligible Majors
The ETA program is available to students enrolling at Central Wyoming College starting in Fall 2026. The initial program focuses on the following bachelor’s degree areas:
- Communication
- English
- Psychology
- Business
- Elementary Education
- Computer Science
- Social Work
Statements from University Leaders
“This is an exciting opportunity for our students and demonstrates both institutions’ continued commitment to supporting and improving the transfer process,” said CWC President Brad Tyndall. “Through the co-advising model and clear program alignment, this partnership will help prepare our students for success as they pursue advanced degrees and transition into their careers.”
“The University of Wyoming is delighted to be part of this innovative partnership with our valued community college partner, Central Wyoming College,” said UW President Ed Seidel. “This program creates even smoother pathways for students to earn their associate degree and then complete their bachelor’s degree at UW. Our hope is that this pilot will grow to include more areas of study and benefit students across Wyoming.”
