Transfer planning resources

Transferring to the UW takes careful planning: You’ll be working simultaneously on various requirements for admission to the UW, for your intended major, for graduation from the UW and possibly for an associate degree. The more you work on multiple requirements at the same time, the smoother and more successful your transfer to the UW will be. No matter where you are in the process, our comprehensive transfer student portal will guide you through this journey.

Your major

Different majors have different admission policies. Make sure you understand the details for your intended major. Select your major from the Academic Majors page, then select the Transfer section to find essential information about your intended major.
