While we do not offer FIGs specifically for transfer students, we encourage them to take General Studies 295.
Our Transfer Course: General Studies 295 allows transfer students to experience a smaller community within a large university setting and engage in critical thinking to continue building a strong academic foundation.
Transfer students are also eligible to take a first-year FIG if they would like. These courses primarily consist of students who are entering the UW directly from high school, but all students who are new to the University of Washington are welcome.
- Enroll in a FIG during your Advising & Orientation session.
