Transfer Student Admission Requirements

Transfer with confidence. Preparation is the key to being a strong transfer applicant. Work closely with your current academic advisor and connect early with a transfer counselor at the UW university you want to attend. Together, you can map out the right courses that will transfer and count toward your intended major.

Use our Transfer Student Resources to learn how your credits will transfer, explore articulation agreements, and make sure you stay on track toward graduation.

How We Review Transfer Applicants

Transfer students will be evaluated for admission through a comprehensive, holistic, and individualized review process. This process allows universities to admit students whose academic preparation, background, and personal experience suggest that the student will succeed at the university, benefit from that educational experience, and contribute to the educational environment.

What Makes a Strong Candidate?

Transfer applicants must demonstrate that they are prepared to do satisfactory academic work at the UW university to which they are applying and that, as members of the campus community, they will benefit from and enrich the educational environment and enhance the quality of the university. Academic information considered will include the student’s postsecondary academic records and may also include high school records, standardized test scores, and/or other relevant academic information.
