General Ed Transfer information
Washburn University has a formal process for
evaluating and approving transfer courses for general
education credit. Any course that is transferred to
Washburn which has not been determined to be a transfer
equivalent course by the appropriate Washburn department
will need to be petitioned for formal approval to apply
toward one of the general education distribution groupings
(Fine Arts, Humanities, Natural Sciences/Mathematics,
Social Sciences). Decisions regarding the university
requirements (Mathematics, English Composition, Lifetime
Wellness) are determined by the departments which offer
these course, so you should check with the departmental
chairperson of the appropriate department for
transferability of the university requirements.
To determine if a petition should be submitted, students
should first check the Transfer Guide at the following
link:
http://www.washburn.edu/washburn/gen/washburn_generated_pages/Transferring_to_WU_m16.html
If a transfer course has been approved for general
education credit, it will be listed on one of the transfer
guides. Courses which appear on these transfer guides
should slot appropriately when students run on-line degree
audits available through the student tab on MyWashburn. If
an approved course does not slot correctly, the student's
advisor should notify the University Auditor so that the
on-line audit can be updated.
If, in consultation with an academic advisor, the student
and/or advisor believes a transfer course should be
considered as potentially meeting Washburn's general
education criteria, a petition should be completed by the
student and reviewed by the academic advisor who will
submit the petition on the student's behalf. The form
should be submitted to the VPAA's Office in Bradbury
Thompson Alumni Center Suite 200 by the submission deadline
(September 15 for fall semester approval and February 15
for spring semester approval). The petition is available
at:
