Applying Transfer Credit to Degree Requirements

The Office of Admissions has the authority to make decisions on transfer of credit to the University and the application of transfer credits to fulfill university core subject, general education and proficiency requirements. Academic program offices have the authority to determine application of transfer credits to fulfill major requirements.

During the first quarter of enrollment, students should meet with an academic advisor to plan a program of study and learn how their transfer credits apply toward degree requirements.

Alternative Credit Options

UW Bothell does not award general credit for work or life experience. However, once enrolled at the UW Bothell, students may explore the possibility of obtaining departmental approval for transfer of credit earned through coursework taken at a unaccredited institution. For information about coursework taken at an unaccredited institution, contact your academic advisor after enrolling.
