A maximum of 90 credits from community college course work may be applied toward the credits required for the bachelor's degree. All of the credits transferred from two-year colleges may be used toward graduation requirements, but a student must still complete at least 90 credits of course work at the UW or at another baccalaureate-granting institution (see also Senior Residency Requirement). Think of transfer courses as a "bank account" from which to draw. All of a student's transferable community-college courses remain in the bank to be applied toward specific degree requirements.

All applicants are required to complete a minimum level of preparation in six subject areas. This requirement ensures that students entering the University have an appreciation for the liberal arts and are adequately prepared to succeed in college. This component of UW admission is known as the core subject requirements. Because these are admission (not graduation) requirements, they must be completed before enrolling at the UW.
Choose a subject in the table to the right, or pick a category below to learn more about core requirements.
A 1XX or 2XX instead of a course number indicates that the course transfers but is not equivalent to a specific course at the UW. 1XX indicates community/technical college courses offered at the 100 level; 2XX indicates courses offered at the 200 level.
Departmental 1XX or 2XX:
1XX or 2XX following a departmental prefix indicates that content is not
equivalent to a specific UW course but does generally correspond to a specific
UW program. In this case, the Biology program accepts the course for credit:
The University of Washington reserves the right to deny credit for courses that are not compatible with those offered in its baccalaureate degree programs. Some general categories of courses never receive transfer credit—or, in some instances, receive credit on a restricted basis only (see items marked with an asterisk in the list that follows). Examples of courses that receive no credit include:
| Courses considered below college level (usually numbered below 100). |
| Repeated courses or courses with duplicate subject content. |
| Course work earned at an institution that did not hold at least candidacy status with its regional accrediting association when the course work was taken. |
| Courses that provide instruction in a particular religious doctrine. |
| Mathematics courses considered below college level, including basic math, and beginning and intermediate algebra. |
| Courses offered for non-credit continuing education units. |
| Remedial English (e.g., reading, vocabulary development, grammar, speed reading, or any courses that are preparatory to an institution's first Freshman Composition course).* |
| Courses providing instruction in English as a Second Language (100-level or above).* |
| Remedial courses in any academic discipline (100-level and above).* |
| Lower-division military-science courses.* |
| Non-academic/vocational-technical
courses.* |
* Up to 15 credits may be awarded for courses numbered 100 and above if included as electives within an academic associate degree from a Washington community college. See also Restricted Transfer Credit.
