Major Planning Worksheets

Previously named “Transfer Planning Worksheets”.

Major Planning Worksheets will help you plan your course of study prior to transferring to UW Bothell. These worksheets provide a fill-in-the-blank format to track your progress to UW Bothell. These guides also contain information regarding:

  • How to be a competitive applicant
  • UW Areas of Inquiry requirements (General Education)
  • Prerequisite courses and equivalencies

Students transferring from Washington community colleges can refer to the University of Washington Equivalency Guide to see how courses might transfer to meet requirements.

To have an admissions counselor evaluate your transcripts for the major’s prerequisites, select the worksheet for your intended major and upload your unofficial transcripts. Have other questions? Schedule an appointment with your admissions counselor through our Counselor Portal.
