We encourage dual-enrollment applicants—particularly those with a significant number of college credits—to begin their academic planning as early as possible to ensure that they make the most of their college credit. The Transfer Admission & Planning booklet will be helpful in this regard, especially the academic planning section.
- Keep in mind that you have established a college record. Grades you earn now could affect admission to the University and to your intended major.
- If you anticipate entering the UW with 90 or more transferable credits, please know that you will be expected to declare a major at the end of your first quarter at the UW or request an extension from your adviser.
Two online tools will help you look ahead toward UW requirements—for your intended major and for graduation—while still completing course work at the college you are now attending:
- For transferable courses at Washington State community colleges and transfer credit policies, get to know the Equivalency Guide.
- Consult the Academic Planning Worksheets, to help you prepare for your intended major and UW graduation requirements.
TRANSFER CREDIT POLICY
The UW will grant full transfer credit for Running Start courses if they are college level and recorded on a college transcript. All UW restrictions on transfer credit apply.
SCHOLARSHIPS
You may be considered for freshman scholarships as long as you do not enroll in another degree-seeking program after leaving high school and before enrolling at the UW. Keep in mind the December 1 priority date for freshman admission.
