UW in the High School - Student Eligibility

“

UW in the High School was a positive experience that I would recommend to anyone. It not only gave me a challenge, but it helped me grow as a student. I felt a part of the great experience that the University of Washington has to offer.

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
