Factors for Academic Consideration
The primary factor for transfer admissions is the student's cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA). A minimum of a 2.5 GPA (on a 4.0 scale) is required for unconditional admission. However, a 2.5 GPA does not guarantee admission into all UIW programs. Students with a GPA lower than 2.5 may be admitted at the discretion of the Admissions Committee.
Applications are accepted throughout the year for all academic terms. The application process should be completed on time to allow sufficient time for processing.
Note: If you are an international student transferring from a U.S. institution, you are still considered an international student. Click here to learn more about the international student application.
