Transfer students: When to apply

Application deadlines for transfer admission vary by degree program. You are encouraged to turn in your application as early as possible to ensure that you receive priority consideration. Applications received after the application deadline, will be considered on a space-available basis. A complete application includes all supplemental materials, essays and transcripts.

Transfer students who submit their admission application for Autumn Quarter by the Transfer Priority Scholarship Date of February 15 will be considered for a new pool of transfer scholarships. Financial aid and other scholarships are available after the priority date.

For scholarships and financial aid consideration, your FAFSA should be submitted by February 28. After this date, UW Tacoma's Office of Student Financial Aid will work to ensure students receive aid commensurate with their need.
