How to Apply as a Transfer
1. FILL OUT THE TRANSFER APPLICATION
The priority application date for fall semester is July 15 and November 15 for spring semester, but we accept transfer applications throughout the year. To be considered for merit-based awards you must apply by the priority application date.
2. REQUEST TRANSCRIPTS FROM ALL THE COLLEGES YOU’VE ATTENDED
If you have less than a full year of college credit to transfer, we may ask you to also have your high school transcript (or GED) sent to WSU.
Transcripts and test scores must be sent directly from the school or testing agency to WSU via postal mail, fax, or an accepted documentation service such as Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, Scribbles, or eScrip-Safe. Please note, we do not accept official transcripts sent via email. If you are requesting your transcripts be sent through an accepted documentation service, please request that they send it to WSU through the U.S. Postal Service. If they send it via electronic mail, we will not receive the transcript.
