Washington State Community and Technical Colleges uses a common course numbering system, which means that certain courses, designated with an ampersand ('&'), are considered equivalent across the any community or technical college within the state. For math placement only, courses need to have been successfully completed within the last two years.
To use a transcript from a Washington State Community or Technical College for placement or to meet prerequisites, choose one of these options:
- Bring a copy of your transcript with you when meeting with an advisor to select classes.
- Email a scanned copy of your transcript to the relevant department for consideration. When emailing, include the following information:
- Your full name
- Your Student ID Number
- Name of the course (example: MATH 099)
- Name of the instructor: (example: Bogart, S.)
- Item number (example: 1187)
If you meet the relevant prerequisites, you will receive a follow-up email containing a course entry code. You can use this code to register for the class.
To apply credit from your transcript towards your degree, you need to submit your official transcript for evaluation.
