Transfer Student Discovery Seminars

Starting your UW journey as a transfer student? Join one of our Transfer Discovery Seminars!
These small, discussion-based courses are designed to support your transition to UW and help you connect quickly to the campus, academic resources, and community that will support your goals. You’ll work closely with a dedicated faculty member, collaborate with other transfer students, and gain an inside look at the tools and opportunities available to you at UW. It’s a chance to earn credit, build community, and begin Autumn Quarter feeling confident, oriented, and connected.

All Transfer Discovery Seminars meet in person. Students earn 5 credits toward their UW degree.
