BIG BEND COMMUNITY COLLEGE 2004 UNIVERSITY OF PUGET SOUND TRANSFER AGREEMENT This guide is a reference to assist students at Big Bend Community College in their preparation for transfer to the University of Puget Sound. It contains general transfer credit information and lists Big Bend Community College courses that are transferable as University Core requirements, 100-200 level major requirements, or electives. 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 800396-7191) in selecting transfer courses, especially those students with specific plans. A maximum of 96 quarter credits may be transferred. 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 Big Bend Community College 2003-2005 Catalog and the University of Puget Sound Bulletin 2003-2004. Due to the lag-time between the publication of the Bulletin and the publication of this guide, this guide will be effective for the 2004 calendar year only and will be honored until 2006. 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 many 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 171, 172, and 173 rather than just Math 171 and 172). COURSE EQUIVALENCIES The University has implemented 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. 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 (253879-3211 or 800-396-7191) for assistance in planning their transfer to Puget Sound. 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 transcript. Students should contact the Admission Evaluator (253-879-3219) for assistance in planning their transfer to Puget Sound. 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. 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.
