Transfer Admission
Transfer credits are typically earned as part of an associate or bachelor’s degree. The expectation is that a student will be able to transfer 45 general education credits and 45 elective credits into the pre-major portion of the WTU program.
Transfer of Associate Degrees
WTU provides full transfer of credits from completed associate degrees that meet the requirements of the Washington Direct Transfer Curricula. These degrees are designed specifically to transfer and meet all general education requirements. All credits will transfer to Washington Technology University and students are guaranteed junior level standing.
Transfer of Associate of Arts Degree
The Associate of Arts degree is designed as a transfer degree into a four-year baccalaureate program. The university provides full transfer of all coursework successfully completed - up to 90 credits - as part of an Associate of Arts degree awarded by an accredited institution.
Transfer of Bachelor Degree Credits
Students who have earned a previous baccalaureate degree may apply to pursue a WTU bachelor's degree in a different area of study. The transfer of upper division courses into the new major will be considered upon request by a prospective student.
For each transfer requested, a student will be required to complete an Academic Requirements Adjustment Request Form and will be further required to provide a course description and a list of course outcomes for each course that they wish to substitute for a WTU course.
Awarding of the transfer will be at the discretion of the registrar, in consultation with the dean and /or chief academic officer. Total transfer credits may not exceed 135 credit hours. WTU has a minimum residency requirement of 45 credits.

Up to 90 combined credits may be applied toward a WTU program via:
- Open enrollment in community college classes
