How Will My Credits Transfer?

Students may transfer a maximum of 64 semester hours, or 96 quarter hours. Generally, courses completed at a regionally accredited institution above 100-level with a grade of C- or higher in accordance with a liberal arts education will transfer. An unofficial transcript evaluation can be requested through the Registrar’s Office at registrar@willamette.edu.

Willamette offers pathways that allow students to transfer with junior standing (60 credits). Typically, students with an AA, AS, AAOT, or ASOT-CS degree enter without having to take many general education courses, and in some cases do not have to take introductory courses for their major.
