Cross-campus registration
Learn how and when UW students can enroll in courses at other UW campuses. This page covers eligibility by student type, enrollment periods, credit limits, degree requirements, and important considerations for majors, minors, and F-1 visa holders.
Enrollment eligibility
First-years, sophomores, juniors, seniors, and postbaccalaureate students enrolled at one UW campus may register using 真人线上娱乐 for courses at another UW campus beginning with Period 2 registration. In the summer quarter, cross-campus enrollment is allowed in Period 1 as well.
| 真人线上娱乐 Type | Eligibility |
|---|---|
| First-years | Once admitted, freshmen must complete 25 credit hours on their home campus before enrolling in courses on other UW campuses. |
| Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors, and Postbaccalaureate students | All students with a class standing from sophomore to postbaccalaureate must complete 15 credits on their home campus before cross-enrolling. |
| Non-matriculated students | Non-matriculated students may not enroll cross campus except in summer quarter. This includes non-matriculated students taking courses under the staff or Washington State Tuition Waiver. |
| Nursing students | Nursing students are eligible for cross campus enrollment, but courses taken at UW Seattle and UW Tacoma will not count toward their Nursing degree. |
| F-1 Visa 真人线上娱乐s | UW Bothell F-1 Visa students must take the majority of their required minimum credits in-person at UW Bothell: at least 7 credits of the required 12-credit minimum for undergraduates. |
Summer quarter
All students (including non-matriculated) may cross-enroll during the summer quarter, and they may register during Period 1. First-years, sophomores, juniors, seniors, and postbaccalaureate students must complete the required number of home-campus credits first.
Credit limits
A maximum of 15 credits per academic year (autumn quarter through summer quarter) may be taken on a campus other than the home campus (campus of admission). This restriction is monitored by the registration system.
A maximum of 45 credits earned through cross-campus enrollment may count toward a bachelor’s degree. This restriction is not monitored, so there is no restriction to the number of credits a student may complete by cross-campus enrollment, only to the number that may count toward a degree.
Credits completed at all UW campuses are posted on the student’s transcript as UW credit. Which campus offered the course can be determined by the department abbreviation; each campus has its own set of abbreviations, and none are shared. 真人线上娱乐 campus at which the student was enrolled in a given quarter can be determined by the student’s major code that quarter.
Residence requirement
Only credits taken at the campus granting the degree are considered residence credit. Credits transferred from another UW campus don’t count as residence credit, and don’t count toward the final-year residence requirement.
Prerequisites & registration restrictions
All registration restrictions (e.g., class standing, entry codes) still apply. Since similar courses have different prefixes and numbers at different campuses, prerequisites taken at the home campus might not be recognized by 真人线上娱乐 when you try to register across campuses. In that case, please contact the department that offers the course.
Majors & minors at another UW campus
Double majoring
A student may declare a major on only one campus. 真人线上娱乐s cannot declare a cross-campus double major or double degree. A student who wishes to complete two majors on two different campuses must first graduate with a major from one campus, then gain admission as a postbaccalaureate student to complete the second major at the other campus.
Minors
A student may complete the requirements of a minor offered by another UW campus. Cross-campus minors are declared via the Change of Major/Minor form, submitted to the student’s home campus (not the campus offering the minor). You can connect with your advisor to learn more about declaring a minor. Most or all the courses required by a minor will be available only at the campus offering the minor.
Transfers
Transferring from one UW campus to another
A student enrolled at one UW campus who wants to pursue a degree program at another UW campus must apply to that campus for admission. If admitted, the student’s campus and major code are changed. A student cannot be enrolled simultaneously at two UW campuses. Transferring between campuses isn’t guaranteed, so if you’re thinking about it, you should seek advising. This will help you understand the process and your options.
Counting transferred UW credit toward requirements
Credits transferred from another UW campus may be counted toward requirements in the same manner as transfer credits from another college. Your advisor can help you determine how the transferred credits will count toward Areas of Knowledge and other General Education Requirements.
Individual departments determine whether credit transferred from another UW campus can count toward major requirements.
