Notes:
Two classes at Chemeketa equal one 4-credit class at Willamette, for the purposes of satisfying specific major or general education requirements. Thus PSY201 + PSY202 = Willamette’s PSYC210. In some cases, a three-course sequence at Chemeketa will equal a two-course sequence at Willamette: for example, CH221, 222, 223 = Willamette’s CHEM115/115Y + 116/11Y.
Students who are native/home speakers of a language other than English may be exempted from the first year of Willamette’s language requirement.

Students who are native/home speakers of a language other than English may be exempted from the first year of Willamette’s language requirement; this will require the substitution of other Arts & Letters courses to satisfy the AAOT requirement.
Students who do not wish to continue language study into the second year may substitute two “World Engagement” classes taken at Willamette for the 201, 202, 203 language sequence, or three Chemeketa classes from the following list. Please note that “double-dipping” is not allowed: the same class may not be used to satisfy both the World Engagement requirement and either the Social Sciences or the Arts & Letters requirement for AAOT:

For students that have taken CS courses from an institution that has aligned outcomes with the Oregon Council of Computer Chairs (OCCC) - Common Course Outcomes (CS 161, CS 162, and CS 260), the following should occur:
- Students that have transfer credit for CS 161, should be placed in Willamette’s CS 151.
- Students that have transfer credit for CS 161 and CS 162, should be placed in Willamette’s CS 152.
- Students that have transfer credit for CS 161, CS 162, and CS 260, will require instructor’s consent about having to take Willamette’s CS 152.
For students that have taken CS courses from other institutions that closely align to the OCCC common course outcomes, the students will take a placement exam for us to best determine the appropriate course for them.

Notes:
Two 3 or 4-credit classes at Chemeketa equal one 4-credit class at Willamette, for the purposes of satisfying specific major or general education requirements. Thus any two courses chosen from among EC 200, 201, or 202 = one elective for the Willamette Economics major.
Students who are native/home speakers of a language other than English may be exempted from the first year of Willamette’s language requirement; this will require the substitution of other Arts & Letters courses to satisfy the AAOT requirement.
Students who do not wish to continue language study into the second year may substitute two “World Engagement” classes taken at Willamette for the 201, 202, 203 language sequence, or three Chemeketa classes from the following list. Please note that “double-dipping” is not allowed: the same class may not be used to satisfy both the World Engagement requirement and either the Social Sciences or the Arts & Letters requirement:

Notes:
Two 3 or 4-credit classes at Chemeketa equal one 4-credit class at Willamette, for the purposes of satisfying specific major or general education requirements. Thus any two courses chosen from ENG 104, 105, or 106 = Willamette’s ENGL 101W. Any combination of two courses chosen from ENG 201, 202, 204, 205, or 253 will equal the “literature outside the modern Anglophone tradition” elective for the Willamette English major.
*Students following the literature track may substitute two quarters of specified WR courses for the “Literature or Writing elective” scheduled for their last year at Willamette.
Students who are native/home speakers of a language other than English may be exempted from the first year of Willamette’s language requirement; this will require the substitution of other Arts & Letters courses to satisfy the AAOT requirement.

Notes:
Two 3 or 4-credit classes at Chemeketa equal one 4-credit class at Willamette, for the purposes of satisfying specific major or general education requirements. Thus BI131 + BI132 = Willamette’s ENVS120.
DRF220 is not required, but may give students an advantage when taking Willamette’s ENVS250: Geographic Information Systems class.
Students who are native/home speakers of a language other than English may be exempted from the first year of Willamette’s language requirement; this will require the substitution of other Arts & Letters courses to satisfy the AAOT requirement.
Students who do not wish to continue language study into the second year may substitute two “World Engagement” classes taken at Willamette for the 201, 202, 203 language sequence, or three Chemeketa classes from the following list. Please note that “double-dipping” is not allowed: the same class may not be used to satisfy both the World Engagement requirement and either the Social Sciences or the Arts & Letters requirement:

Notes:
Two 3 or 4-credit classes at Chemeketa equal one 4-credit class at Willamette, for the purposes of satisfying specific major or general education requirements. Thus PSY201 + PSY202 = Willamette’s PSYC 210. Any combination of two courses chosen from PSY 234, 237, or 239 will equal one “Category A” elective for the Willamette Psychology major.
Students who are native/home speakers of a language other than English may be exempted from the first year of Willamette’s language requirement; this will require the substitution of other Arts & Letters courses to satisfy the AAOT requirement.
Students who do not wish to continue language study into the second year may substitute two “World Engagement” classes taken at Willamette for the 201, 202, 203 language sequence, or three Chemeketa classes from the following list. Please note that “double-dipping” is not allowed: the same class may not be used to satisfy both the World Engagement requirement and either the Social Sciences or the Arts & Letters requirement:
