Washington 45: One-Year Transfer Courses

A student who completes courses selected within the general education categories listed below at a public community, technical, four-year college or university in Washington state will be able to transfer and apply a maximum of 45 quarter credits toward general education requirement(s) at any other public and most private higher education institutions in the state. For transfer purposes, a student must have a minimum grade of “C” or better (2.0 or above) in each course completed from this list. Students who transfer Washington 45 courses must still meet a receiving institution’s admission requirements and eventually satisfy all their general education requirements and their degree requirements in major, minor and professional programs. The list of courses in Washington 45 does not replace the Direct Transfer Agreement, Associate in Science Tracks I and II or any Major Related Program agreement, nor will it guarantee admission to a four-year institution.

1. Many private non-profit colleges and universities have distinct general education requirements. Students should check with institution(s) they plan to attend regarding application of transfer credits that will meet general education requirements.

2. Disciplines are sometimes called subject or subject matter areas and are designated by a prefix (i.e. PHIL for Philosophy and POLS for Political Science).

Running Start

Running Start is a statewide program that allows high school juniors and seniors to attend community college tuition-free, earn college credits, and transfer to most 4-year colleges and universities in Washington. Each year, more than 1,300 Thurston County families choose Running Start at SPSCC for their high schoolers because they save significantly on college tuition. A student can earn an AA at the same time as a high school diploma, then transfer to a 4-year school as a college junior, saving a family $8,000+. Fee Waivers and Book Borrow are available to qualifying students. Students are highly successful in the Running Start program. They can also be involved in student clubs, on-campus jobs, and study abroad programs. Students also enjoy other benefits, including independence and a diverse college experience. To be eligible for Running Start, students must be recognized by their high school or district with junior or senior class standing and place into or have Completed English 101. This can be done in several ways, like taking the English Guided Self Placement. After applying to SPSCC, students should meet with their high school counselor to discuss graduation requirements for their high school, then choose how many classes to complete at high school and at SPSCC, up to 15 credits per quarter at SPSCC for full tuition coverage. More information about applying and the program can be found at spscc.edu/runningstart.

College in the High School

College in the high school provides college-level academic courses taught at the high school by college-qualified high school teachers. Freshman, sophomores, juniors and seniors can earn college credit when they successfully qualify for and pass the college-level course. Students pay a fee for each course they enroll in. There are no other tuition or fee costs and materials are provided by the high school. If a course has a prerequisite, the student must meet the prerequisite in order to enroll in the course for college credit. Credit from College in the High School is generally transferable to four year schools or students can continue on as a Running Start student during junior and senior year or as a full time student at SPSCC after high school graduation. In many cases it might only take a few more quarters after high school graduation to complete an AA saving the student time and money on tuition.

Associate in General Studies (90 credits)

The Associate in General Studies (AGS) gives students the opportunity to design their own educational programs. This degree was developed as a non-transfer degree so students could have more flexibility in selecting courses to best fit their interests or emphasize particular areas of study not regularly offered by the college.

The fact that the AGS is not designed as a transfer degree does not mean an AGS graduate cannot transfer to a four-year college or university. However, students should be aware that their transcripts will be subjected to a course-by-course analysis to determine how many courses will be accepted by the four-year institution.

Students seeking this degree must have prior approval from an instructional Dean or the Vice President of Instruction and must design their AGS programs under the supervision of an advisor.

Credit for Non-Traditional Learning

Credit for Non-Traditional Learning (CNTL) is awarded in the following areas: Credit by Testing, Prior Experiential Learning, Extra-Institutional Learning, and Course Challenges. General guidelines for the awarding of CNTL would be as follows.

Credit by Testing – The College accepts credit through Advanced Placement (AP) and College Level Examination Program (CLEP). The College also has a process to award Credit by Examination though a challenge exam. This policy is found earlier in this Academic Regulations section. A maximum of 45 credits will be awarded by credit by examination.

 Advanced Placement – Students may receive credit for Advanced Placement scores of “3” or higher. Advanced placement grade reports should be requested from the College Board and sent to the Enrollment Services office. Once received, the student will submit a Transfer of Credit form request for the AP score to be evaluated. AP coursework completed through the high school class will not be accepted for credit without qualifying test scores.

 Cambridge International. SPSCC will grant a minimum elective credit for each Cambridge International (CI) Examination for A-level exam with a passing grade or above for approved examinations. Credit will be awarded on the basis of official CI Examination results, not transcript notation. Duplicate credit for the same subject taken on different exams will not be granted.

 International Baccalaureate. SPSCC will grant a minimum elective credit for an International Baccalaureate (IB) Higher Level (HL) exam score of 4 or higher. Credit will be awarded on the basis of official IB results, not transcript notation. See IB Test Score Equivalencies at SPSCC.

 Course Challenge – Students may receive credit for a course by satisfactorily completing a challenge examination. Students should register for the course and indicate to the instructor the desire to challenge the course. Instructional divisions may reserve the right to deny challenges for specific courses. An exam is administered and graded, with the

152

grade recorded during the active quarter. They may enroll in a future quarter for grade renewal purposes.

 College Level Examination Program (CLEP/DANTES) – Examinations are accepted if students score above the ACE recommended score normally 50). The distribution of credits must be no more than 10credits in each of the following areas: English, natural sciences, mathematics, humanities and social sciences/history. Students are responsible for forwarding CLEP exam records directly from the College Board to the Enrollment Services Office. Test scores in the General Examination are not equated with specific course descriptions in the college catalog. Students with English scores above the 50 are not exempt from ENGL& 101 or 102 requirements. CLEP English scores and credits can be applied toward communications or humanities credit with the exception of ENGL& 101 and 102. Acceptable test scores and credits granted can be applied to the General Education List requirements. Students may receive credit in areas in which you have not already earned 10 credits. Students who have earned college course credit prior to taking the General Examination may earn credit in each of the five examination areas to the extent that the total course credits and examination credits do not exceed 10 in any general area.

Prior Experiential Learning – Credit is awarded through assessing knowledge and skills gained through work and life experience that correspond to the student learning outcomes of some existing professional-technical courses at South Puget Sound Community College.

Credit for Alternative Learning Experience (CALE or called Extra- Institutional Learning by the state) – Awarded through documented third-party training, industry certifications or occupational crosswalks. The training must be formal and documented. Transfer of military credit is done through the Joint Services Transcript (JST) and based on the recommendation of the American Council on Education (ACE). Students receiving College credit for military service through their JST must still earn credits consistent with the College residency policy in order to be granted a degree or certificate. No more than 25% of credits used for a professional/technical degree can come from CALE. No more than 15 CALE credits are allowd in the Direct Transfer Agreement degrees. Students are charged a $25 application fee and $10 per credit for CALE (fee waived for military transcripts).

Advanced Standing – Students may enroll in an advanced course when an evaluation of previous experience and education indicates that credit could be given for lower-level courses in the program. Credit will be given up to a maximum of 45 quarter credit hours only with completion of the higher-level courses with a grade of “C” or better, or with a grade that is agreed upon through a specific agreement with area high schools. The request for advanced standing can be started by completion of the special enrollment form found in the One Stop. The form must be signed by an advisor and the appropriate division dean to be reviewed for eligibility.

V At the instructor’s discretion, this grade may be assigned when a student ceases attendance before sufficient data to evaluate has been submitted. Student must have stopped attending by the 40th day. No grade points calculated at SPSCC; other schools may convert V’s to F’s when determining transfer eligibility or recalculating GPAs.

W Student withdrawal; no grade points calculated.

Y Course in progress. For continuous enrollment courses and courses with calendars that extend beyond one quarter. No grade points calculated.

Note #1

Prior to issuing an “I” grade, the professor must complete an “Incomplete Agreement” form indicating what requirements must be completed, the expected completion date and method of evaluation. The form must be signed by the instructor and the student. Failure to complete the requirements in the agreed upon time frame (no longer than the end of the subsequent quarter) will result in a grade of “F” for the class.

Note #2

Some courses will be graded satisfactory/unsatisfactory. Certain courses are graded in this manner due to the nature or content of the course. Faculty may offer this option in classes that are generally evaluated with letter grades by including the option in their course syllabus.

Grade Reports

Students may locate final grades at the end of each quarter online in their ctcLink Student Center and unofficial transcript. Official transcripts can be ordered online at spscc.edu/students/transcripts-verifications.

Academic Standards Policy

Standards are enforced to ensure satisfactory academic progress. All students are expected to maintain a quarterly cumulative GPA of 2.0 for credits attempted and a minimum college-level GPA of 2.0 must be maintained for graduation with a degree or certificate. Academic deficiency is defined as failure to maintain the minimum grade point average requirements, as stated above. After the first quarter in which a student is academically deficient, he or she will be placed on academic warning. After the second quarter in which a student is academically deficient, the student will be placed on academic probation. After the third quarter in which a student is academically deficient, the student will be placed on academic dismissal. Dismissed

154

students must sit out for a quarter and go through the readmissions procedure. Running Start students can't count summer quarter as the quarter in which they sit out.

Readmission Procedures

Students who are dismissed from the college for academic deficiency must complete the appeal process. A student must complete an Academic Standards Review form and meet with an educational planner in the Advising Center to discuss course selection and success strategies for future quarters. All appeal steps must be completed prior to the third day of the quarter a student wishes to re-enroll.

Grade Renewal

Grade renewal is a process of eliminating courses from the computation of the cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) under the listed conditions. Grade renewals cannot be done on “V” and/or “W” grades, which are not computed into the overall GPA. Students who receive financial aid may jeopardize their future eligibility to receive funding when requesting grade renewal and should contact Financial Aid before seeking this option. Petition for Grade Renewal Forms should be submitted to the One Stop at the Olympia Campus (Bldg. 22) or Lacey Campus (Bldg. 1) or emailed to Enrollment Services at enroll@spscc.edu. Grade Renewal for Repeated Courses: Eliminate credits and grade(s) from computation of GPA for courses that have been repeated at SPSCC. An “R” will appear next to the lower grade and won’t be calculated into the GPA. Grade Renewal for Unrepeated Courses: Eliminate credits and grade(s) from computation of GPA for courses that have not been repeated. All grades will continue to appear on the transcript. An “*” (asterisk) will appear next to the course that is no longer calculated into the GPA. All credits taken prior to the requested quarter for grade forgiveness will also be eliminated from GPA and credit computation. In order to qualify for this option:

 A period of two years must have elapsed since the grades were earned or the student has changed the program of study;

 The student has attained a quarterly GPA of 2.5 or greater in two consecutive quarters at SPSCC since earning the initial grades; and

 The student has not withdrawn from more than five credits per quarter since returning to SPSCC.

Academic Honors

Each quarter South Puget Sound Community College recognizes outstanding academic achievement by placing students on the President’s List or Vice President’s List. A notation of the award will be placed on the student’s permanent transcript.

President’s List

To receive the President’s List designation, students must earn both of the following:

 A quarterly grade point average of 4.0.

 A minimum of 12 graded, college-level credits (S grades not included).

Vice President’s List

To receive the Vice President’s List designation, students must earn both of the following:

 A quarterly grade point average of 3.60 to 3.99.

 A minimum of 12 graded, college-level credits (S grades not included).

Part-time students are eligible each time they complete 12 college-level credits and their GPA falls within the designated list for the quarter. Part-time students need to notify the Office of the Vice President for Student Services each time they qualify. Vice president’s List and President’s

155

List notations will be posted on the transcript for the quarter in which the 12 college-level credits are completed.

Graduation Honors

Students in degree programs who achieve college-level GPAs of 3.75 to 3.89 will graduate with High Honors. Students in degree programs who achieve college-level GPAs of 3.9 to 4.0 will graduate with Highest Honors.

Tuition, Fees, and Registration

Washington residents pay regular in-state tuition. A resident student is one who has been living in the state of Washington for at least one year prior to the commencement of the quarter for which the student has registered, and has established an intention to become a bona fide resident of the state for other than educational purposes. Special consideration is given to military personnel, recent veterans, their spouses and dependents, refugees and undocumented students who graduated high school or the equivalent in Washington State. Contact Enrollment Services for more information at enroll@spscc.edu. Tuition and fees are due approximately three weeks before the start of the quarter. Actual dates will be posted online and at the One Stop. Tuition rates are set by the Legislature. Current tuition rates and due dates are published each quarter online at spscc.edu/pay-for-college. The college charges a quarterly $20 matriculation fee, and a quarterly technology fee at the following rate: a student in 1-9 credits $40 students in 10 or more credits $50; ABE/ESL/GED/Parent Co-op students $10. An additional per-credit fee of $6 is assessed, which was established by a vote of the students to cover costs of the Student Union Building and the Health and Wellness Center. Associated Student Programs (ASP) fee for Running Start students is $5 per credit. For up-to-date information, see the quarterly publication Advance, visit spscc.edu, or contact the Business Office at 360-596-5246. A course fee is charged for specific classes and is displayed in the class schedule. Some courses have specific laboratory and/or special fees. These fees are listed in the online class schedule. Online and hybrid courses at South Puget Sound Community College require a student technology fee and use a Learning Management System (LMS) to assist in delivering course content. If you register after the 10th day of fall, winter, or spring quarter, or the eighth day of summer quarter you may be required submit a Late Add Petition Form and be subject to a $100 per course late fee. Tuition and fees are also due at the time of registration.

Students Rights and Responsibilities

The college provides for the rights of the individual student and the college community through official college policies. The codification of these policies protects individuals and groups of students with procedures that deal effectively with issues of individual and community rights. Students are expected to respect the laws of local, state and federal authorities. Admission to the college carries with it the expectation that students will conduct themselves as responsible members of the college community, that they will comply with the rules and regulations of the college, maintain high standards of integrity and honesty, respect the rights, privileges and property of other members of the college community, and that they will not interfere with legitimate college affairs. Copies of the code setting forth student rights and responsibilities as adopted by the Board of Trustees are available from the Vice President for Student Services, from the Office of Student Life and online at spscc.edu/students.

Student Privacy

In accordance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), South Puget Sound Community College enforces guidelines concerning information about the student’s

156

permanent educational record, and governs the conditions of its disclosure.

The consent must indicate a specific party to release records, must indicate the specific records that can be released, and is good for one year unless otherwise noted. Exception will be made if knowledge of the information is necessary to protect the health or safety of the student or other individuals or disclosure is required by law.

The college provides additional information to military recruiters in compliance with federal Solomon Act requirements. Students wishing to be excluded from the student directory information, must file a non-disclosure request with the registrar to seal their records. SPSCC assumes that failure on the part of any student to specifically request the withholding of “Directory Information” indicates individual approval for disclosure. By sealing your records, SPSCC will be unable to verify degrees, graduation, or any other requested information.

Directory information includes:

 Student’s name, street address, email, and phone number

 Date and place of birth

 Major field of study

 Extracurricular activities

 Height and weight

 Most recent institution attended

 Veteran’s status

 Dates of attendance and completion
