<p>Does anybody know how a community college course appears on the UW transcript? For example, a class is called “intro to logic” at my community college, but it transfers over as PHIL 115 at UW, which is called “practical reasoning”. So on my UW transcript will it say “intro to logic” like on my community college transcript, or will it say “practical reasoning”. Thank you very much for your help!</p>
<p>It will show the UW’s equivalent name.</p>
<p>Seatac is correct.</p>
<p>This is why a class or two of mine is listed as UW 1XX because it transferred over but they had no similar class.</p>
<p>travelgirl, is that all your transcript says? Like you transcript literally just says “UW 1XX” and nothing else? There is no name for the class on your transcript? I am just wondering. Thanks for your help</p>
<p>A sample to how the transferred classes look like: </p>
<p>ENGL 182 RESEARCH PAPER 5.0 4.0<br>
ESRM 100 ENVIRONMENTAL SCI 5.0 4.0<br>
GENOME 1XX 1.0 4.0<br>
GENOME 351 HUMAN GENETICS 4.0 4.0
UW 1XX (blank) 5.0 4.0</p>
<p>So as you can see the one that transferred to UW 1XX has no name for the title of the class because there is no UW equivalent class, but since they still recognize it they put a generic UW 1xx with the weighted credit</p>
<p>Yep, that’s right. This is what some of my transfer electives look like:</p>
<p>0000 JAPAN 2XX 2.5 4.0 TRANSFER COURSE<br>
0000 JAPAN 201 5.0 4.0 TRANSFER COURSE<br>
0000 POL S 1XX 1.0 4.0 TRANSFER COURSE<br>
0000 POL S 202 5.0 4.0 TRANSFER COURSE</p>
<p>Basically, if there is a UW equivalent (as is the case with POL S 202 and JAPAN 201), it will display the course code for the UW equivalent, not the original code from your old school. If there isn’t a UW equivalent, it will just have the 1XX or 2XX. It will never show your original course code from your old school.</p>
<p>When you first have all those classes transfered in, do you have an overall gpa at that point? I see it says 4.0 on the transfer course. I have a 4.0 with all my CC courses, so would I then have a 4.0 going into UW?</p>
<p>I believe you have a 4.0 going in, but that your GPA is reset after the first quarter to be your UW GPA. Basically, whatever you get in your first quarter at the UW will be your entire cumulative GPA. Then, when you take subsequent quarters, those classes will be factored into your cumulative. None of your grades from your previous school are included.</p>
<p>For example, I might have had a 4.0 going into the UW from four semesters worth of classes (equivalent to six quarters), but if I get a 3.7 in my first quarter at the UW, my cumulative GPA becomes 3.7, even though it was only one quarter compared to the six I’d done previously. This is because the previous quarters are not considered anymore.</p>
