Transfer Tips

If you are planning to transfer from Clark College to another college or university, you should know the following information:

  • You will be expected to meet the entrance requirements of other institutions at the time you transfer. The transferability of courses taken at Clark College is determined by the institution to which you transfer. Most Clark College transfer courses are accepted by other institutions.
  • In general, those courses whose titles contain the word "technical" or "technology" are not transferable to all institutions, but may transfer to some selected four-year schools. You should work closely with faculty advisors before attempting to transfer vocational coursework.
  • You may earn a total of more than 90 college-level credits at Clark College, but the total number of credits accepted for transfer is determined by the institution to which you transfer.
  • Courses numbered below 100 will not transfer to any four-year college.

You should follow the procedures given below to satisfactorily complete a transfer to a senior institution:
  • Obtain a current catalog of the institution to which you wish to transfer. Study the entrance requirements and suggested freshman- and sophomore-level courses in the major field of interest. Institutions differ in their treatment of credits received with an S grade as well as courses marked "W" (withdrawals).
  • Confer with a Clark College counselor or advisor about transfer needs. Transfer guides from Washington and Oregon institutions are available; many universities have transfer guides available on their web sites.
  • Confer, either by letter or personal interview, with an admissions officer at the senior institution for information about curriculum and transfer regulations. Do this as soon as you decide you may transfer there.
  • Check carefully a quarter or two before transfer to be sure that all requirements will be met and all regulations observed to the satisfaction of the senior institution.

Last minute changes to your major field of study or choice of senior institution may create transfer problems. Such changes should be made only after consultation with advisors at both institutions.
