Transferabily and College Planning
Each college or university determines how transfer credits apply to its degree programs. There is no universal rule for transferring credits, whether they are earned through Willamette Promise, another dual credit program, or a college.
Credits earned through Western Oregon University generally transfer to most Oregon public colleges and universities, though they may count as elective credits. Some private colleges have more restrictive transfer policies and may not accept dual credit.
Before applying, review the transfer credit policies of the colleges you’re considering. Understanding these policies can help you make informed decisions about your college options.
