- Is it possible for me to take courses at the UW and the community
college at the same time?
Yes, it is possible. You may need to check with your financial
aid office about how aid can apply to two institutions a the
same time.
Also, it is best to consult with an adviser to ensure that courses
you are taking apply to specific requirements.
- What is the expected
length of time to complete the program?
That depends on your individual situation. An associate transfer
degree requires 90 quarter credits. The bachelors
degree requires an additional 90 credits to total 180 quarter
credits.
Some students
attending
part-time, e.g. 10 credits (2 classes) per quarter could
be finished in four years
plus two additional quarters by attending school year round.
- Can I combine on campus courses with online courses?
Yes. The program is designed to be flexible to meet students’ schedule
demands. If you are at the University of Washington,
it is important to check with your adviser on the number of distance
learning credits
you are taking as well as the timing of those credits.
-
Must I take any courses in the classroom?
Yes. At the University of Washington your last 45 credits
must be taken on site.
- Is there a difference between an evening degree and
one completed during the day?
No. Evening degree courses meet on the UW campus in Seattle.
Many of the instructors are full-time faculty. The only difference
between the day and evening program
is the availability of majors, and the times classes meet. Classes
offered begin at 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday.
- What grade-point
average is required for acceptance to the program?
It depends on your situation. A combination of factors, including
your GPA and test scores, are considered. Evening admission
is separate from
day admission.
The GPA requirements are different than for the day program. Contact
an evening degree adviser at 206-543-6160 or advisers@extn.washington.edu for
more information.
- How does my high school record impact my application
to an evening degree program?
All applicants are required to have a minimum level of preparation
in six high school core subject areas, and must submit an official
high
school
transcript
as part of their application packet. Please contact an evening
degree adviser at 206-543-6160 or advisers@extn.washington.edu if you have
questions about
high school core subject requirements.
