The following are some basic guidelines regarding the
transfer of international coursework to Shoreline
Community College:
- Credits will not be accepted from a
school or institution that is not
recognized by the local Ministry of
Education (or equivalent). Credits will
also not be accepted unless they are
considered "university-level" within the
original educational system.
- Coursework in English or ESL is not
transferable unless it was completed in
a country where English is considered
the native language (U.K., Ireland,
Australia, New Zealand, Canada). The
exception is English literature, which
is generally transferable.
- Instruction is a particular
religious doctrine or political ideology
is not transferable in most cases (i.e.,
"The Teachings of Dr. Sun-Yat Sen" from
a Taiwanese institution, "Christian
Studies 1" from a Christian college or
university). Comparative religion
classes generally are transferable.
- Students intending to complete a
professional/technical degree or
certificate at Shoreline should be aware
that very few (if any) transfer credits
will apply toward that degree or
certificate. (While the credits may be
generally transferable and acceptable to
the College, they usually will not meet
the very specific course requirements of
a technical program.)
- Credits will be calculated to
conform to the structure of the U.S.
quarter system. The definition of a
"quarter" or "semester" credit in
another country is not necessarily the
same as the U.S. definition.
- Generally, for "standard" academic
courses (i.e., "Introduction to
Psychology"), it is not necessary to
provide individual course descriptions
or syllabi. However, in some instances,
course descriptions may be requested by
the evaluator in order to determine the
transferability and applicability to a
Shoreline degree or certificate.
- Only original evaluation documents
will be accepted.
