Important Notice
Selecting the appropriate courses in fulfilling the AA degree (or any transfer degree) saves students time and expense in completing the requirements of a bachelor's degree. Courses that are considered upper division at a baccalaureate institution may need to be repeated if taken at a community college. Transfer students should plan their degrees in accordance with the requirements of the institution to which they plan to transfer. They should also be aware that colleges within universities may have admission requirements significantly higher than the 2.0 GPA required for the AA Degree and that they may look at performance in specific classes in determining a student's admission.
Students may meet graduation requirements in the catalog current at the time of their initial enrollment, provided enrollment toward their educational objective is continuous (from quarter to quarter) during the academic years involved. Otherwise, graduation requirements will be those listed in the catalog in use at the time of graduation.
Students intending to transfer courses from professional-technical degrees should consult with department advisor, transfer center staff, and advisor at the baccalaureate institution where they plan to transfer.
ICRC RecommendationsAcademic Transfer Information
Walla Walla Community College offers courses in most academic areas. These courses meet requirements for associates' degrees and will transfer to four-year institutions within guidelines established by those schools. The courses and degrees offered are designed to enable the student to make a successful transition to a four-year institution. Students who plan to transfer to a specific college or university should work with a transfer advisor both at the community college and at the four-year institution they plan to attend.
While the agreements with Baccalaureate institutions assure the transfer of credit, the admission to a particular university or university program is not assured. Each institution has separate admission criteria which can be based on grades, prerequisite coursework, test scores, and other considerations.
Students who plan to transfer to a university should attend a college transfer workshop, work with a community college advisor, and make early contact with their intended transfer school.
Many universities have advisors who visit WWCC. Students are encouraged to visit with these representatives when they are on campus.
