Concurrent enrollment is when a student is enrolled at UW-Madison and simultaneously enrolls at another accredited institution. CALS degree programs are designed to be completed without enrolling at another institution; however, in some circumstances courses offered at another institution may complement a student’s UW-Madison course of study.  Students are strongly encouraged to share with their advisor if they are considering non-UW-Madison coursework at any time while they are a UW-Madison student. CALS students are not required to obtain special permission to concurrently enroll at another institution; however, they are expected to consider the ramifications of concurrent enrollment before they make a decision.

Approved by CALS Curriculum Committee May 17, 2024.
