Transfer & Returning Student Application
Indicate below the courses you have completed or plan to complete
to satisfy the Architecture course requirements for entry into the 2nd
year. WSU’s Transfer Equivalency web site, found through the
A-Z index on WSU’s homepage http://www.wsu.edu can be a helpful
tool to determine transfer equivalencies from community colleges
and four-year institutions. If there is no direct equivalency, indicate
which of your transfer credits you believe will best approximate the
required courses listed below. Complete course descriptions can be
found on WSU’s Registrar’s home page under the “Academic
Catalog” link. Final evaluation of WSU General Education transfer
credits will be made by the Admissions Office, and evaluation of
Architecture course equivalents will be determined by the School of
Design & Construction. Indicate with an asterisk (*) those courses in
which you are currently enrolled. Please enclose copies of your
transcripts with this application.
