Application

Applying for Admission

Before applying for admission to the BSTC program, make sure to review the admission requirements and graduation requirements. Speak to an adviser if you have questions. Then follow these steps:

1. Check the application deadlines:

Two groups of students are admitted to the Department each year:

  • Early Admissions Group: Students with fewer than 60 total credits who meet the basic admission requirements can apply for Early Admission for Autumn quarter.
  • Upper Division Admissions Group: Students with 60 or more total credits, including the 38 credits needed to meet the basic admission requirements , can apply for Upper Division Admission for Autumn or Spring quarters.

The application deadlines are as follows:

  • For Autumn: July 1
  • For Spring (Upper Division Admissions only): February 1

2. Contact the TC Department:

It is a good idea to contact the TC department well in advance of submitting your application. Gian Bruno, Academic Adviser, and Karen Kasonic, Undergraduate Faculty Adviser, will be your main advising contacts.

Gian Bruno is the adviser for all TC programs and works closely with Karen Kasonic to help students apply to the department, plan their schedules, and meet graduation requirements. Gian should be your first point of contact for nearly all of your advising questions. Karen Kasonic is the faculty adviser for TC undergraduates. Karen and Gian work together to help students apply to the department, plan their schedules, and meet graduation requirements. Karen also is the contact person for any substitutions or petitions for TC Approved Electives.

You should set up a meeting with either Gian or Karen soon after you decide to apply to the TC department. Together you and your adviser will review your eligibility and discuss plans to help you prepare for admission.

3. Complete and submit the online application by the deadline. (The online CoE application is available one month prior to the application due date.) http://www.engr.washington.edu/uapp/ .

Note: The TC Department will keep your application on file for one year after the application deadline. If you are not accepted, or should you decline admission, your application materials will be shredded.
