Please refer to the Equivalency Guide Manual for important information regarding abbreviations and definitions of terms.
Common Courses taught at the Washington state community colleges have an ampersand (“&”) symbol appended to the course prefix. To avoid confusion between courses, pay careful attention to the ampersand as some courses that look similar are actually different courses (e.g., ENGL& 101 and ENGL 101) and may have very different UW equivalencies.
Key to symbols:
| * | Foreign-language courses or programs. See Foreign Language Graduation Requirement for more information. |
| § | Courses or programs that are no longer offered by Bellingham Technical College. |
| (LC) | Limited credit within specified disciplines. For details, click the (LC) link within individual equivalency entries. |
