STUDENT ELIGIBILITY
Courses offered through UWHS are official UW courses and therefore demand considerable work outside of the classroom. Successful students have discipline and are willing to dedicate more time than the typical high school course demands. They should have a B+ average in courses in the subject area or have permission of their instructor.

Characteristics of a successful UWHS student are:
  • Ability to use academic English
  • Ability to analyze and think critically
  • Curiosity about intellectual matters and a willingness to explore “grown-up” subject matter or to interpret topics from a fresh perspective
  • Willingness to devote the necessary time to assignments
  • Willingness to participate in all classes or activities
  • Willingness to accept and adapt to college-level evaluations
  • Willingness to independently obtain a UW transcript and establish UWHS credit at another institution as needed
