Changing your status

If you wish to change your status from nonmatriculated to matriculated, you must apply to do so by the application deadline of the program you wish to enter.   If you are considering switching to matriculated (degree-seeking) status, you are encouraged to do so as soon as possible, as 45 of the last 60 credits of a baccalaureate degree must be earned as a matriculated student in residence at the Tacoma campus. Change-of-status forms are available from the Office of Admissions.
