out your transfer equivalency report.
Complete the following checklist and call me over at any time to ask questions

Review your transfer equivalency report. Did all your classes transfer over properly? If you are
not sure, call me over.

Complete your GUR requirement checklist based off your transfer equivalency report. If you
have a Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) you will not need to take any GURs at WWU and you do
not need to complete this step.

carefully!

Decide if you are a PreMajor (you have not taken all Foundation Courses) or a full major (you
have you taken all Foundation Courses). Both premajor and full major students can register
during the first phase of registration. Only full major students can register for concentration
courses.

This will tell you how close you are to graduation.
