Transfer credit policies at Evergreen State College?

I'm considering transferring to Evergreen State College and I'm curious about their transfer credit policies. How do they evaluate transfer credits, and is there a limit to how many I can bring with me?

Evergreen State College uses a quarter system, and they typically accept transfer credits from regionally accredited institutions. Your transfer credits are evaluated on a course-by-course basis, and there is a great emphasis on the material covered in the class, and less on the individual grades you received.

While evaluating your transfer credits, Evergreen State considers factors like the level of the course (whether it's undergraduate or graduate), the duration of the course, your grade in the course, and whether it's a liberal arts or pre-professional course. In terms of grade, generally, you need to have achieved a grade of "C" or better for the credits to be accepted. However, different departments may have their own specific requirements so it's worth checking with them.

There isn't a specific publicized limit to how many transfer credits Evergreen will accept but do note that at least 45 credits have to be earned at Evergreen in order to qualify for their degree. That's to ensure a certain level of your education comes directly from the curriculum and faculty at Evergreen.

I would recommend reaching out to Evergreen State's Registrar's Office or the admissions department for more specific and personalized information regarding your unique situation. They can provide more concrete guidance on how they might evaluate your specific coursework and how it would align with their degree requirements. It can also be beneficial to ask for this information in writing, so that you have it for future reference.
