Welcome back!

Whether you’ve been away for two years or 20 years, we want you back at a UW university. No matter the reason for your break, our universities are ready to help you return to your studies.

As you get started with the re-entry process, staff will likely ask you questions about your previous experience and your goals for the future:

  • When you last attended a UW university, were you in good academic standing (GPA ≥ 2.00), on academic probation, or in another status?
  • While you were away, did you enroll in any other college and earn credit you hope to transfer to a UW university?
  • What academic program(s) do you want to pursue?

When you’re ready to re-enroll, learn about the application process.
