Testing Scores

At least one of these scores is required for acceptance for students without 24 transferrable academic hours (12 in basic curriculum).

Student Health Services

For the safety of our campus community, all students are required to have certain up-to-date immunizations before arriving on campus. As such, all new students must verify their immunization and medical histories through the Immunization Record and Medical History completed through Student Medical Report and Immunization Form. Failure to comply will result in an inability to register for classes or participate in activities such as athletics, band, cheerleading, or residence hall move-in.

Submit official transcripts from each college/university previously attended. Students who are currently enrolled at another institution will be required to submit their final transcript prior to enrolling at UWA.
