Transfer Guide: Eastern Washington University's transfer guide is a tool to help students identify course equivalencies. The transfer guide is a compilation of courses that have previously transferred to EWU. It is not a comprehensive list of all work that will transfer, and should be used as a planning tool.  For more information, see our transfer guide instructions.  

The transfer guide is meant to help students determine what General Education Core Requirements (GECRs) have been satisfied.  Each academic department at EWU is responsible for determining the transferability of classes outside of the GECR list. In some instances, you will find that some courses have been identified with transferable equivalents. For courses that are not listed you will need to contact the specific department regarding their transferability/equivalency.

Transfer Credit Evaluation: Transfer credit is generally awarded for all work completed at an institution of higher education recognized as a college or university by a regional accrediting association. Transfer credit practices outlined by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers are generally followed. Specialized accreditation alone is not sufficient for recognition of transfer credits. Although the above principle regarding accreditation is generally followed in all circumstances, specific program questions should be addressed to the Office of Admissions.

NOTE: A maximum of 90 quarter hours of credit earned at a two-year college may be applied toward the bachelor's degree at Eastern; consult the transfer guide for information on specific course equivalencies.

Military Credits: Students may earn up to 45 quarter credit hours for military educational experiences. This includes credits awarded for CLEP/DANTES tests taken. Any student pursuing a bachelor of arts in interdisciplinary studies (prior learning option) will not be awarded more than 90 quarter credit hours from a combination of military experience, and prior learning block credit.

Experiential Credit: Adult students who have acquired substantial specialized training outside the classroom can earn college level credit. Under interdisciplinary studies, the prior learning program option provides these students the opportunity to have their experiential learning evaluated for a block of elective credit. The credit awarded cannot exceed 45 credits and can only be utilized in the interdisciplinary studies B degree option. For more information, please call 509.359.2402. 

Foreign Educational Credentials: Students interested in information about credit awarded for selected foreign educational credentials should contact an evaluator at 509.359.2397.

Veterans: College credit may be awarded for military service time. Veterans are encouraged to submit a photocopy or true copy of military separation, DD-214, or an equivalent document for credit evaluation.
