Admission requirements
Transfer admission is based on your most recent grade-point average and academic standing.
​
To be considered for admission to USW, you must satisfy the following admission criteria:
-
Minimum 2.0 GPA (4.0 scale)
-
Good academic standing at most recent institution
​
Transfer students who do not meet the standard undergraduate admissions requirements will be required to submit an appeal to be reconsidered for admission. Transfer students who left most recent institution on academic or disciplinary probation or suspension will be admitted on academic probation if appeal is approved.
