Due to COVID-19, students who have earned a Pass, Satisfactory, or Credit grade for courses completed in Winter quarter 2020, Spring quarter 2020, Spring semester 2020 or Summer term 2020 may receive transfer credit and those courses may fulfill degree requirements in all undergraduate programs.
Seattle University grants the maximum credit possible to meet degree requirements for courses taken at other regionally accredited institutions. An official evaluation of transfer coursework will be provided upon admission to SU. Acceptable transfer credits are applied to degree requirements consistent with university policies.
Most transfers from two-year colleges who, during their first two years, follow a parallel program of study to their intended Seattle University major, enter as juniors and can complete degrees with two additional years of coursework. Exceptions occur when students have taken courses not applicable to their majors, since some majors entail more specific requirements than others. Should a student's major change, the number of applicable transfer credits may also change.
If you are earning a direct transfer associates degree or an associate of science degree at a Washington State community college, you may satisfy most Seattle University core requirements and some major requirements. You may be eligible to transfer to Seattle University with 90 (quarter) credits and junior standing, complete upper-division courses and receive a bachelors' degree. Successful completion of prerequisite course work may be required for admission consideration into specific programs.
A final official transcript with the degree posted must be submitted.
Students who complete an Associate of Arts degree as well as the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) track will enter Seattle University as a Junior with 90 credits earned and all CORE requirements fulfilled except University Core Module II, an interdisciplinary course, and a senior synthesis.
Students who have earned the Associate of Arts Oregon Transfer Degree (AA/OT) prior to matriculation at Seattle University will enter as a Junior with 90 credits earned and all CORE requirements fulfilled except University Core Module II, an interdisciplinary course, and a senior synthesis.
Students who have earned the Associate of Arts as well as the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC-A) track prior to matriculation at Seattle University will enter as a Junior with 90 credits earned and all CORE requirements fulfilled except University Core Module II, an interdisciplinary course, and a senior synthesis.
The remaining courses required are those students must complete to earn a degree. In some cases, students may have extra elective credits applicable to the particular degree program but affect class standing. Professional degree programs have more requirements and fewer electives than other programs. The number of transfer credits depends upon whether courses fit specific major and general graduation requirements.
