COURSE NOT LISTED?

A community/technical college course may not be listed in the UW Equivalency Guide for any of the following reasons:

• The course may not be transferable. For more information about non-transferable courses, please review Notable Restrictions on Transfer Credit and Courses Receiving No Credit .
• The course may be new, and a review may not yet be completed. The length of time required to review a course can vary widely depending on the amount of information required to review the course for transfer.
• The course may not appear in the originating college's catalog. For a course to be considered for review, the originating college must include the course in its past, present, or future catalogs.

To find out how an unlisted course will transfer to the UW or to ask an admissions question, contact the Office of Admissions.

If you represent a Washington State community or technical college and have questions about the equivalency review process, see the Guidelines for community and technical colleges for instructions and contact information.
