Students having the Associate of Science Oregon Transfer - Computer Science (ASOT-CS) degree recognized on an official college transcript will have met the lower division general education requirements of bachelor's degree programs of any Oregon public university.
Students transferring under this agreement will have junior status for registration purposes. Courses, class standing or GPA requirements for specific majors, departments or schools are not necessarily satisfied by an ASOT-CS degree.
Graduation Requirements
Students must complete a minimum of 90 credit hours with a minimum cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 at the time the ASOT-CS degree is awarded. All courses must be passed with a grade of ‘C’ or better.
Twenty-four (24) credits must be completed at Southwestern before the ASOT-CS degree is awarded.
Complete the graduation application process one term prior to the term of completion (e.g., spring term graduates must apply during winter term).
Courses (except for elective credits) must be selected from the list of approved courses for the ASOT-CS degree. Each student is encouraged to work with an advisor and/or the University Center in the selection of courses within the ASOT-CS degree for alignment to the transferring institution.
NOTE: Courses that are developmental in nature (designed to prepare students for college transfer courses) are NOT applicable to this degree.
