We are not likely to receive such confirmation until you have reported to Disney World and actually start their course(s). Please be aware that if you enroll in courses through the Walt Disney World College Program, we will need confirmation from them that you are enrolled for credit before we can register you in Cooperative Education 001. This course has been specifically set up to accommodate students participating in the Disney program, and will assure that you are counted as a continuing student at UWSP. If you decide to enroll in courses through either of the above two options, you should contact the Office of the Registrar for approval to register for Cooperative Education 001, (a zero credit - no cost involved course). See the UWSP department chair of your program to determine whether or not the credits would apply to your major. The credits you earn will be accepted as general university electives toward your degree. Then request the ACE to send a transcript of your Disney coursework to the Registrar at UWSP. We understand that the fee to do so is $30. Upon completing the course(s), register your enrollment with the American Council on Education (ACE). These courses are offered by Disney World and on their premises. When you arrive at Disney World, enroll for one or more courses in the Disney College Program.The credits you register for will require payment of tuition to UWSP. If the department determines that the experience is credit-worthy, you would then register at UWSP for the term during which you will be working at Disney World. Some types of experiences will be relevant to an academic major and thus appropriate for awarding credit, some will not. This is both a more complicated and more expensive option. Contact the chair of the academic department of your major and ask whether you could enroll for one or more courses at UWSP (e.g., independent study, practicum, internship, etc.) that the department would judge to be equivalent to your Disney experience/coursework.Should you decide to take courses, you may want to consider one of the following two options for earning credit: Will you have time to take courses while you are engaged in your Disney work experience?.The Disney courses will be accepted by UWSP as “elective” credit and not necessarily in your major.Do you need additional “elective” credit toward the 120 credits required to graduate?.How many courses will you be able to take?.Are the courses pertinent to your academic program?.If you are planning to pursue academic credit for your Disney experience, please give careful consideration to the following: If you are ultimately offered and accept a position with Disney World, it is important that you do not just leave UWSP without making appropriate arrangements in advance. You will not be considered a continuing student at UWSP during the semester you are working at Disney UNLESS you are enrolled for academic credit through the Disney College Program AND are registered for Cooperative Education 001 credit through UWSP. The following information is provided to assist you in your application process for a position with the Disney College Program.
