This section provides information for students who plan to transfer to a college or university in Washington state to complete a baccalaureate degree. It highlights different transfer degree areas and includes contact information for faculty advisors at OC who can help map out education plans and transfer programs of study. Students should work closely with an advisor at the baccalaureate institution where they plan to transfer before finalizing their education plans.
Reverse Transfer
Reverse transfer provides a way for students who transfer to a bachelor’s degree program to earn an associate degree, even if they have not completed all associate degree requirements at the time of transfer. Students may transfer completed courses from their transfer college or university back to Olympic College (OC), to be applied to an OC associate degree. Participating institutions include all of Washington state’s public four-year colleges and universities (including Western Governors’, University of Washington), and Old Dominion University, among others. Students should request the OC Reverse Transfer package to initiate the process.
Advising Notes and Recommendations
- Consult a faculty counselor if you have not decided on a future major.
- Check with your intended transfer college or university advisor for specific admissions and major requirements. With careful planning, you may be able to fulfill both admissions and major requirements with your degree.
- Not all courses are offered every quarter. A faculty advisor can help you plan course sequence and schedule.
NOTE: The Associate in Arts/Direct Transfer Agreement (AA/DTA) is a general transfer degree. It is not usually associated with a specific major. Students who plan to transfer to a four-year college or university are responsible for contacting the appropriate advisors at the institution to determine which additional classes they may need to take while attending OC. The educational plan to complete the AA/DTA and any additional classes should be made in consultation with the appropriate OC Faculty Advisor.
