An Uplifting Community for Transfer Students

Did you know nearly 40% of CWU students transfer here from another college or university? And you could be one of them. As a transfer student, you embrace change and refuse to settle until you find the university that meets your needs and helps you reach your greatest potential. Within our transfer community, you can share your unique experiences, strengths, and talents and contribute to our ever-growing student population.

Guaranteed Admissions for Qualifying Students

At CWU, we promote a stress-free application process and proudly offer guaranteed admissions for qualified transfer applicants with at least 40 transferable credits and a 2.0 college GPA. If you meet these criteria, you can start planning your CWU future with certainty. 

Scholarship Opportunities

To boost accessibility, we provide an array of transfer scholarship opportunities to help you fund your education. Our Transfer Excellence Scholarship awards a $1,000 renewable tuition waiver to incoming transfer students with a 3.0 GPA or above.

Additionally, our Admissions Committee automatically considers you based on your completed CWU application, so you don’t have to submit a separate application.
