Explore your teach out and transfer options

In summer 2024, Concordia University Wisconsin and Ann Arbor leaders announced that several programs on the CUAA campus will be changed following the 2024-25 academic year. If your program is among those impacted, you have some options.

Please note that the information below is for programs that will no longer be offered on the CUAA campus as of May, 2025. Programs that continue on the Ann Arbor campus are not included as part of teach out and transfer options. The CUAA campus continues to serve as a home for several graduate and undergraduate degree programs. 

Program completion at CUW

Concordia University Wisconsin will continue to offer a full slate of academic programs, and the total amount of institutional aid you have been awarded at CUAA will be matched at CUW.

If you are already competing on a CUAA sports team, we will guarantee a roster spot (automatic roster slot in hockey not guaranteed) on the equivalent CUW team for your freshman year. To learn more about attending the CUW campus, complete the Campus Change Form to connect with an admissions counselor who can help answer questions.

Teach out agreements

Teach out partner institutions are those that have agreed to allow CUAA students to complete their programs through a formal agreement. The agreement includes these benefits:

  • Automatic admission of current CUAA students in good academic standing.
  • Guaranteed acceptance of 100% successfully completed credits at CUAA. CUAA students can complete their degree in the same amount of time – students will need to complete the same number of semesters at the teach out institutions as they would have at CUAA.
  • The net tuition amount the student is expected to contribute to complete their degree will be the same as they would have had to pay at CUAA. While the scholarships may be packaged differently and with different names, the net cost will be the same. CUAA students will not need to negotiate that process.

Many institutions accept applications for transfer students, but the process may not be as seamless or have the same guarantees as transitioning to the partnering teach out institutions. Therefore, it is often in the best interest of the student to transition to a designated teach out institution.

Teach out options

Concordia University Wisconsin & Ann Arbor have negotiated teach out agreements with the following institutions. Please review each option below for details regarding which programs are available at each teach out institution and the details of the agreement.

Transfer options

Students can transfer to any institution of their choice at any time of enrollment. When students transfer, they apply to another institution and submit their CUAA transcripts for evaluation. Institutions that have established transfer agreements with CUAA do not offer all of the protections of a teach out partner but often come with more benefits to a student than when typically transferring to another institution.
