Transfer Students
You are considered a transfer student if you meet all of the following criteria:
- graduated from high school and
- earned credits from another college or university
If you have earned less than 12 transferable credit hours at the college or university level, you will also be required to submit materials required for incoming freshman students.
If you plan to take courses at WSU for one semester and then transfer the credits earned at WSU back to your home institution, you do not need to apply as a transfer student. You are considered a guest student.
