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.

The University of Washington Tacoma serves a diverse student population, creating 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 a hiatus.
