Any student holding a General Education Transfer Module that conforms to the guidelines below will have met the requirements for the Transfer Module at any Oregon community college or institution in the Oregon University System. Upon transfer, the receiving institution may specify additional General Education course work that is required for a major or for degree requirements or to make up the difference between the Transfer Module and the institution’s total General Education requirements.

GUIDELINES

The General Education Transfer Module includes the following course work, which can be completed in one academic year (3 quarters). All courses must have a grade of “C-” or better, must be worth 3-4 credits given on the quarter system, and must be chosen from the courses approved for a given category by the issuing institution.

Foundational Skills

• Writing: Two courses of college-level composition.
• Oral Communication: One course of fundamentals of speech or communication.
• Mathematics: One course of college-level mathematics, for which at least Intermediate Algebra is a prerequisite

• Arts and Letters: Three courses.
• Social Sciences: Three courses.
• ·Science/Math/Computer Science: Three courses.

Electives

• At most two courses.

Total courses 13-15 (totaling 45 credits or more).

NOTES

 
• 1) Courses that are developmental in nature, designed to prepare students for college-level work, are not applicable to the transfer module.
• 2) When choosing courses in science and mathematics, students and advisors should check the specific requirements at receiving schools. Courses that include a laboratory component, or that deal with specific subjects, may be required for some programs or majors.
• 3) Computer Science courses used in the Math/Science/Computer Science area must meet the inter segmental Computer Science chairs group criteria for a science course. This includes CS 120, 121, 122, 161, 162, 171, 260, and 271 from the list of commonly numbered courses. (http://cs.bmcc.cc.or.us/occc/)
• 4) In Arts and Letters, the second year of a foreign language may be included, but not the first year. American Sign Language (ASL) is considered a foreign language.
• 5) All Oregon community colleges and Oregon University System institutions will offer students the opportunity to complete a Transfer Module and an appropriate endorsement will be entered on the transcript by the offering institution upon request. Regionally accredited private colleges and universities within the state are also welcome to offer and issue Transfer Modules, which will be honored in transfer to any Oregon public college or university.
• 6) Transfer Module credits need not necessarily match program requirements in the receiving school. The Transfer Module supplements but does not supplant existing articulation agreements and does not replace effective advising.
