Prospective University of Washington, Winter 2016 transfers?

@liment Who knows, honestly? My packet said that I must respond by Dec. 14, so it’s possible there will be another batch around that time. My adviser said that most students hear back by Dec. 3 at the latest, so if you still haven’t heard anything by now you should contact UW admissions. Of course they will probably just give you a generic answer, but I’d be hounding them if I were you!

I think they are waiting to hear back from the students that have gotten acceptances to see how many spots they can fill. I don’t know though since nothing about this process makes sense. LOL

@snailshellz @Akeating … Was Dec 15th the only option? I have a final session then so that’s no good for me. Still “not eligible” as of a few minutes ago. Hope it’ll process later today, I sent form from Lynnwood a week ago, last Tuesday.

@BillyReuben yeah there were options for Dec 16, 22, & 29 I believe.

Dec 29 doesn’t leave a whole lot of turnaround since the quarter starts on Jan 4. Yeesh.

@BillyReuben What snaillshellz said :slight_smile: I wonder if the dates change per which field of Study you sign up for?

Does anyone know when we can apply for Student Housing? Is it after we register for class too :/?

Hello Everyone,
Out of curiosity, has anyone gotten any information on financial aid or grants? Thanks

@BillyReuben I believe @Akeating is right, the dates change depending on which A&O you sign up for. I registered for the “Environmental and Biological Sciences” session this morning and Dec. 15 & 16 were available.

On a side note, if you had a pre-existing UW NetID before getting your admissions offer/acceptance, you’ll have to go back in and “re-sign up” and edit your status to include “UW Student” as well as enter your PAC code (found on admissions paper), so that you are able to sign up.

I sent my fee in last Monday and I couldn’t sign up until this morning because I didn’t edit my UW NetID to include current UW Student.

@kedillor yeah I got my aid offer two weeks ago. IIRC you’re out of state. UW doesn’t give much if any aid to OOS students, just the purple and gold scholarship

@sonicnation95 how do you “re sign up” and change your status to UW student?

@chanuw I just googled “UW net id” and clicked the first link that says “Get your UW NetID”.
Then choose the first option that says you already have an ID. It will ask you if you know your login and PW. If you do, it’ll redirect you to confirm your identity and should allow you to change it there.

@sonicnation95 Thanks for the help! But for some reason it only shows me the date for the 29th.

@chanuw no problem! are you applying to the environmental or bio science orientation? I think the dates depend on which orientation you’re interested in.

@sonicnation95 I registered for the undecided orientation but checked all the other orientation dates and only got the 29th. I’ll probably end up emailing them later today to ask about dates or something. It’s weird cause I talked to a friend who registered after me and got the 15th for his orientation.

Anyone else still waiting for their transcripts to load/letter
Out of state or in state ? Lol

WA cc transfer / waiting for my transcript to load/letter

How will I know when I can sign up for advising and orientation? I just send my letter of acceptance with the $300 fee this Monday.

@bmck13 Go here and click on “Register for an A&O Session”: https://fyp.washington.edu/getting-started-at-the-university-of-washington/advising-orientation-a-o-winter/

It’ll load “Not Eligible” for a while, but after you’re processed it’ll let you in.

@sonicnation95 @snailshellz @Akeating

Got it; it finally loaded. My Tuesday final is at 6 pm, so, meh… what the heck… I did Dec. 15th.

I was getting annoyed for the last 7 days because after over two months of dealing with the error message on the transcript load the last thing I want to do is wait. Let us in, UW!

@snailshellz did you already submit your measles form?

I have to wait until Friday to get the form signed by my doctor… I hope a week before Orientation is okay lol

I still have yet to hear anything back… This is very disheartening :frowning:
