Planning a Successful Transfer to GW

1. Work with a transfer advisor at your community college and/or the GW GAA advisor to assist in choosing a major.
2. Use the GW transfer pathways to assist with course selection within your program of study.  Familiarize yourself with GW’s admission deadlines.
3. Maintain a 2.75 cumulative GPA for BSHS programs and a 3.3 cumulative GPA for BSHS/MSHS dual degree programs as well as adhere to specific requirements as outlined in the GAA.
4. Apply To GW.  All students must complete the GW Online Application. The application fee is waived for all GAA applicants (waivers are not automatic so students must submit a request for one via the application system).
5. Complete your associate’s degree and submit your final official transcripts. 
6. Letter of Recommendations are waived for all GAA applicants.

Transfer Outside Health Sciences Programs: No internal transfers are permitted from a Health Sciences program to another GW school or college. To transfer outside of the Health Sciences, a student must follow the full admission processes for the other GW program.
