What are Green River Community College's transfer credit policies?

I'm considering attending Green River Community College before transferring to a four-year university. Can someone explain how their transfer credit process works and if they have any agreements with other universities?

Green River Community College (GRCC) has a well-structured transfer credit process that is designed to honor courses taken at other accredited institutions, to a certain extent, and the college may consider transferring credits attained from foreign institutions after appropriate evaluation.

Some key points to remember:

- You'll have to submit official transcripts of past learning experiences to the Enrollment Services office so they can evaluate them. This may take a few weeks to process.

- Only courses with a grade of "C" or better are considered transferable.

- However, the credits transferred do not affect your GPA at GRCC. They're merely used for prerequisite and degree requirements.

- GRCC offers different types of transfer degrees such as Associate in Science (AS), Associate in Business (AB), and Associate in Arts (AA), among others which are designed to transfer to four-year colleges and universities.

- The transferred credit policy at GRCC may differ somewhat if you are transferring credits from a technical/vocational school, an international university, or other non-traditional learning experiences.

GRCC also has Direct Transfer Agreement/Major Related Program (DTA/MRP) agreements with many four-year universities around their state and region. DTA/MRPs are degrees that include coursework to prepare you for a specific major at the university and satisfy lower-division General Education requirements at all the universities in Washington.

You should connect with an academic adviser at Green River to discuss your possible degree paths and potential transfer options. They can give advice tailored to your situation, including possible universities and their specific transfer requirements.
