Main Content
Here at the University of Washington Tacoma, we're proud to serve a diverse student population, fostering a rich learning environment with many points of view. That means you'll feel at home whether you're fresh from community college, transferring from another university, or returning to school after some time away. Our transfer students bring a range of experiences and perspectives that help make our community the best around!
A transfer applicant has attended a college or university after high school graduation (summer excluded), but has not yet earned a bachelor's degree. (Students who have already earned a bachelor's degree should apply as a post-baccalaureate student.) Transfer applicants may apply directly to a major program, or may apply as undeclared or pre-major, depending on the number of credits earned at the time of application and eligibility.
