For our information, however, please indicate your desired degree goal. You may apply to the University of Washington through the Office of Graduate Admissions in three ways. It is important to understand the distinctions between the categories. Students must be admitted to this status in order to earn a degree. The Application for Admission to the Graduate School is obtained from the program to which you wish to apply.
Admission is based in part on availability of resources.
Visiting graduate applicants must have been admitted to another recognized graduate school, be currently pursuing a graduate degree, and in good standing. Although transcripts need not be provided with the application, a Certificate of Status signed by the home institution is required. Some graduate programs have chosen to offer admission to graduate nonmatriculated students . These students are not presently seeking a graduate degree, but may wish to apply a maximum of 9 credits earned in this category to degree requirements should they later be accepted into a graduate program. Applicants should meet minimum Graduate School admission requirements but admission as a graduate nonmatriculated student does not imply admission to a graduate degree program .
