2011 Transferable Courses
NORTHWEST INDIAN COLLEGE
Northwest Indian 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 in selecting transfer
courses, especially those students who have selected a major.
A maximum of 96 quarter credits may be transferred, and all
courses are evaluated on a course-by-course basis.
Students should use the course listings in conjunction with the
Northwest Indian College 2009-2011 Course Catalog
and the University of Puget Sound Bulletin 2010-2011 . This
guide is effective for the 2010 calendar year only and will be
honored until 2012.
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).
The university Core Curriculum includes 8 requirements plus
a foreign language proficiency requirement. Sophomore
transfer students may complete 4 Core courses and the foreign
language proficiency requirement with transfer credit while
junior transfer students may complete 5 Core courses and the
foreign language proficiency requirement with transfer credit.
Transfer credit used in a major or minor program is subject to
departmental review. 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
2011 Advising Manual
placement, transfer credit may be adjusted and a student
required to complete appropriate courses in residence.
NOTE: These listings apply to regular course offerings
completed by regular college students. Courses offered in
other formats, such as programmed-learning, challenge
examination, distance-learning, online, or telecourses, may not
be transferable. Additionally, college credit earned prior to high
school graduation is subject to evaluation using both the high
school and college transcripts.
Because curriculum revisions may occur during the year, all
announcements are subject to change without notice. This
document does not create a contract between the university
and any student or community college.
Students with transfer credit questions should contact the
Office of Admission at 253.879.3211 or 800.396.7191.
