How will AP/IB credits or A-/AS-Level credits transfer?

If you took any Advanced Placement (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB) tests or A-/AS-Level exams, you could possibly get UW credits depending on the score you received.

Will all my credits transfer? How will I know how many credits I have?

When your application is reviewed, our evaluators will determine which credits transfer and once you register for classes you will find your transfer credits on your MyUW account.

If you’re an international student, please pay particular attention to the following: Official International Credential Evaluation.

If I’m a transfer student, how do I find out which of my credits/classes meet specific degree requirements?

To view direct UW Bothell equivalents from Washington state community colleges, please visit our course equivalency guide.

Your credits earned from prior college coursework may be transferred to your University of Washington records. The credits that count toward general education requirements are reflected in the Degree Audit Report System in MyPlan.

Transfer coursework must be reviewed and coded for major requirements by your Academic Advisor, so they may not be reflected immediately. You will have the opportunity to discuss your credits in your 1:1 meeting with your Academic Advisor during Orientation.

Newly admitted transfer students who have paid the enrollment deposit will be able to register to attend an advising orientation. All incoming transfer students must attend this half-day orientation program before they can register for classes. Visit the UW Bothell Advising and Orientation webpage for more specific information about Orientation.

Advisors in your major will assist you in determining what you should enroll in your first quarter. For students transferring from a 4-year university or out-of-state college, additional advising appointments may be required after your orientation for a complete credit evaluation and degree audit. This is not something that you can accomplish at any time prior to attending the new student orientation program. Admission counselors are not able to assist prospective transfer students with this type of evaluation; they can only advise on admission criteria being met.

What is a personal statement?

A personal statement is a very important piece of your application. The personal statement gives you an opportunity to express your personality, academic plan at UW Bothell, career plan and goals through your writing as well as how you will contribute to enhancing our campus. Be sure to check spelling and grammar before you submit the personal statement. The personal statement varies if you are a First Year Student applicant or a Transfer applicant. Please visit one of the following webpages for more information about what should be included in your personal statement:

Do international students need to submit a bank statement with their application?

Admitted domestic students do not need to submit a bank statement.

Is my username and password for the online application the same as my username and password for MyUW?

To check whether we have received documents or whether your application file is complete, students are welcome to check their app status portal or send an email to uwbinfo@uw.edu requesting an application status update.

Running Start

If I’m a Running Start student, do I apply for first-year or transfer admissions?

Students that completed the Running Start program should apply to UW Bothell as a first-year student.

You are only considered a transfer student if you plan to take or are taking college courses/credits after graduating high school but before starting at UW Bothell (excluding the summer directly after graduation).

Can I earn Running Start credits at different colleges? 

All 34 of Washington’s community and technical colleges offer Running Start courses, in addition to a few public four-year institutions. Students may take courses at one or multiple colleges. For more details about the Running Start program, visit the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. 

UW Bothell recognizes Running Start credit from most accredited institutions. However, we do not offer Running Start courses. For questions about Running Start course credit, contact an admissions counselor. 

When do I need to submit my official transcripts?

First-year admitted students who confirm their spot at UW Bothell are required to submit an official final high school transcript, which includes a graduation date, as part of a student’s admitted next steps following their admission to UW Bothell. If you receive college credits through the Running Start Program, you must also submit official college transcripts. 

If you are taking courses in summer quarter after you graduate from high school, we recommend that you send an official transcript once spring quarter grades are posted and then again after summer grades are posted. This will help ensure that you are able to register for the appropriate classes for fall quarter. Learn how to send official transcripts. 

Will I still be considered a pre-major student with Running Start credits?

The majority of incoming freshman can expect to start at UW Bothell as a pre-major student, meaning you have not yet declared a major. As a pre-major you can continue taking a variety of classes to explore your interests in your first and second year at UW Bothell.  

Once you complete the necessary prerequisites, you will be eligible to apply to your desired major. Your academic adviser will help you register for prerequisite courses and they will be able to assist you in the application process.

If you have additional questions, please use this form to connect with your admissions counselor!
