Notification of Admission Decision

Admission decisions for international freshman will be mailed between January and April. International transfer and postbaccalaureate applicants will be notified between May and July. The notification period is an on-going process so we can not give a specific date that you will receive an admission decision. All applicants will be notified in writing, whether you are offered admission or not offered admission. Admission decisions will be sent to your mailing address and depending on where you live, it may take 1-3 weeks for the mail to reach you. For security reasons, we are unable to give out admission decisions over the telephone.

Review Your Application Status

If you have submitted an application for admission to the University of Washington for a future quarter, you may access information online about the status of your application.


  • If you have not yet established a UW NetID, you must first set up an account with the University of Washington. To do so, you will first need the confidential access codes that are sent by postal mail shortly after your application for undergraduate admission to the Seattle campus has been entered in our student data base. These codes are included within the text of the acknowledgment letter which is generally mailed within 5 days of entering your application in our system. If you have recently submitted an application, please allow sufficient time for this mail to reach you.
  • If you have already received your acknowledgement letter, you may create your UW NetID now.
  • If you have already established a UW NetID, you may login now to check the status of your application. NOTE: Information will be available only if your application has already been entered in our student data base system.
