COURSE EQUIVALENCIES FOR UNDERGRADUATE TRANSFER STUDENTS
All transfer credit used in a major or minor program is subject
to individual departmental review and approval. Academic
departments may require a transfer student to complete an
interview or examination before being placed into a program
of study. Based on a student’s placement, transfer credit may
be adjusted and a student required to complete appropriate
courses in residence. Again, students are encouraged to
contact the Office of Admission (253-879-3211 or 800-3967191) for assistance in planning their transfer to Puget Sound.
SKAGIT VALLEY COLLEGE
2003
UNIVERSITY OF PUGET SOUND TRANSFER AGREEMENT
This guide is a reference to assist students at Skagit Valley
College in their preparation for transfer to the University of
Puget Sound. It contains general transfer credit information
and lists Skagit Valley College courses that are transferable
as University Core requirements, 100-200 level major
requirements, or electives.
NOTE: These listings only apply to regular course
offerings completed by regular college students.
Courses offered in other formats, such as programmedlearning, challenge examination, distance-learning, online, telecourses, or extension programs may not be
transferable. Additionally, college credit earned by a
student prior to high school graduation is subject to
special evaluation criteria and reviewed for transfer credit
on a case-by-case basis using both the high school and
college transcripts. Students should contact the Admission
Evaluator in the Office of the Registrar (253-879-3219) for
specific information.
Community college courses that are similar to Puget Sound
courses numbered at the 100 or 200 level are generally
transferable. However, as transfer evaluations are done in
the context of each student’s academic program, it is possible
for an evaluation to include courses not listed in this guide as
well as to exclude courses that are listed. Therefore, students
are encouraged to seek the advice of the Puget Sound Office
of Admission (253-879-3211 or 800-396-7191) in selecting
transfer courses, especially those students with specific plans.
A maximum of 96 quarter credits may be transferred.
Similarly, all Contracted, Cooperative, Cross Cultural,
Directed, Field, Honors, Independent, Seminar, Special,
Travel Studies and other courses with variable content are
evaluated individually. Students completing such courses
may submit a syllabus or abstract to the Admission Evaluator
for review.
Community college students who wish to complete an
associate degree prior to transferring are encouraged to do
so. However, the University evaluates all transfer credit on a
course-by-course basis and an associate degree itself does
not provide any direct benefit.
Students should use the course listings in conjunction with the
Skagit Valley College 2001-2003 Catalog and the University
of Puget Sound Bulletin 2002-2003. Due to the lag-time
between the publication of the Bulletin and the publication of
this guide, this guide is effective for the 2003 calendar year
only and will be honored until 2005.
Because curriculum revisions may occur during the year, all
announcements are subject to change without notice.
Additionally, this agreement is not to be regarded as having
created a binding contract between the University and any
student or community college.
This guide has two lists, one for courses that transfer as
University Core requirements and one for transferable
courses in general. Note any courses that must be taken in
combination in order to transfer. If the combination is not
completed, separate courses may not transfer. Students are
therefore advised to complete a sequence of courses, rather
than just one or two quarters. (For example, students
studying calculus should complete Math 124, 125, and 126
rather than just Math 124 and 125.)

Option A (5 credits)
The University has 12 Core requirements in the
undergraduate degree. Of those, the Science in Context Core
and the Comparative Values Core must be completed at
Puget Sound. The other 10 may be completed by transfer
courses although the University recommends that transfer
students complete at least two additional Core requirements
at Puget Sound. Only those transferable Core areas that may
be readily completed at Skagit Valley College are listed.
Other courses may be considered for a Core area not listed,
however the actual course syllabus is used for the evaluation
and students must coordinate this with the Admission
Evaluator in the Office of the Registrar (253-879-3219).

In the next year, the University will implement a new Core
curriculum. Freshmen who enter the University in Fall 2003
will be subject to the new requirements, as will sophomore
transfer students who enter in Fall 2004 and junior transfer
students who enter in Fall 2005. The new Core includes 8
requirements, instead of 12, along with a language
requirement. Sophomore transfer students may complete 4
Core and the language requirement with transfer credit while
junior transfer students may complete 5 Core courses and the
language requirement with transfer credit.
