6. Prepping for Transfer to UW
Identify student’s educational goals, interests and plans.
Look for the appropriate program at UW on the Degree Plan web-site.
Determine whether or not the student is planning to complete an associate degree.
If the student completes an AA, AB, ADN or AS, he/she will have satisfied the lower division USP requirements at UW (possible exceptions of FY, V and COM3).
If the student does not complete an associate degree, he/she will have previous college credits evaluated in a course by course manner.
If the student is close to completing an associate degree and want to transfer before completing it, encourage him/her to consider a reverse transfer.
4) Encourage student to opt into Transfer Advance or the Transfer Success Center.
