TRANSCRIPTS

If you have also attended a college, university or post-secondary school outside of the U.S. we will need official transcripts from that school, along with a word-for-word, literal, English translation if the transcript is not in English.

If you have fewer than 45 transferable academic college credits, then you must also submit original high school transcripts with an official translation if the transcripts are not in English.

US $75 international application fee Once admitted, you will also need to provide proof of financial resources in order to qualify for an I-20 for F-1 student visa status.

UW Tacoma’s International Student & Scholar Services (ISS) office serves F-1 international students with visas, advising, programming and support. Email uwtiss@uw.edu or call 253-692-4762. .
