No matter where you started your college education, WSU Tri-Cities welcomes transfer students! You are considered a transfer for admission purposes if you have attended college since graduating from high school (not including the summer immediately following high school graduation). Find all the information you need to get started right here.
You have worked hard for the credits you earned. Learn how to easily estimate credit transfers and which courses to take to meet future WSU requirements with our guide.
Are you a student at Columbia Basin College or Blue Mountain Community College? The Bridges program helps you save money on college costs and pairs you with a transfer advisor who is knowledgeable in your program of study.
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.
Transcripts and test scores must be sent directly from the school or testing agency to WSU Tri-Cities 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 that your transcripts be sent through an accepted documentation service, please request that they send it to WSU Tri-Cities through the U.S. Postal Service. If they send it via electronic mail, we will not accept the transcript.
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 Tri-Cities.
