Services for Transfer Students
Transfer advising is designed to prepare students for a successful transition to a four-year college or university. Our goal is to provide you with the advising tools and resources that are necessary for navigating the transfer process.
If you intend to transfer to a university, the transfer advisors (along with University & College Transfer) can offer you the following:
- Overview of the transfer timeline and process from exploring majors to university transfer
- Resources and information (university websites, course equivalency guides, and admissions deadlines)
- Calendar of university and Green River transfer events, including transfer fairs and workshops
See a list of our current of Transfer Degrees.

Transfer Resources
| Institution | Admissions Language Requirement | Graduation Language Requirement |
| University of Washington |
For transfers with less than 40 quarter credits by the application deadline, Admissions requires completion of two years of high school or the second quarter of college elementary world language. For students with more than 40 quarter credits by the deadline we do not need or require them to meet our admissions minimums (CADRs). |
On the UW Seattle campus, all majors in the College of Arts & Sciences and the School of Social Work require completion of either three years of high school or the third quarter of college elementary world language to graduate. Information about this requirement can be found on the Undergraduate Academic Affairs – Advising website. |
| Saint Martin's University |
It is strongly recommended that high school/Running Start applicants to Saint Martin’s complete an academic program that includes two years of a world language before admission to the university. |
Bachelor of Arts students must complete four semester hours (Core140) of one World Language. Bachelor of Science students are not required to complete a language for graduation but can choose to take classes if they wish. Transfer students who come to Saint Martin's University with an approved DTA degree (Associate of Arts, Associate of Pre-Nursing, etc.) fulfill the World Language graduation requirement. |
| Central Washington University |
2 credits of the same world language, Native American language or American Sign Language. |
|
| University of Puget Sound |
While we do like to see and highly encourage two courses of global language before applying, it does not prohibit a student from applying if they have not completed those courses. Transfer students may use transfer credit to count for one or both courses. Each approved transfer course must be a minimum of 4 quarter credits or 3 semester credits. |
- Taking two 1-credit language courses in Chinese, French, German, Greek, Japanese,
Latin, or Spanish that are taught in the target language. Two courses are required
for all students, with the following exceptions:
- Students with a high school diploma from a school where the primary language of
instruction was other than English do not need to take further courses.
- Heritage learners (defined by Valdés, 2001 as “a student of language who is raised
in a home where a non-English language is spoken, who speaks or merely understands
the heritage language, and who is to some degree bilingual in English and the heritage
language”) are required to take only one course.
- Students with AP language exam scores of 4 or 5 or IB higher level language scores
of 5, 6, or 7 are required to take only one course.
- Transfer students may use transfer credit to count for one or both courses. Each
approved transfer course must be a minimum of 4 quarter credits or 3 semester credits.
