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 Clackamas equal one 4-credit class at Willamette, for the purposes of satisfying specific major or general education requirements. Thus CS161 + CS162 = a single WU CS elective.
Students who are native/home speakers of a language other than English may be exempted from the first year of Willamette’s language requirement. Those who wish to study a language offered at Willamette and not at Clackamas (Chinese, Japanese, Latin, Greek, German, or Russian) may postpone their language study till arriving at Willamette, taking a year of language in lieu of two elective courses in their junior year.

Notes:
Two 3 or 4-credit classes at Clackamas equal one 4-credit class at Willamette, for the purposes of satisfying specific major or general education requirements. Thus any two courses chosen from ENG104, 105, or 106 = Willamette’s ENGL101W. Any combination of two courses chosen from 201, 202, 204, 205, 218, 253, 271, 272, or 273 will equal the “literature outside the modern Anglophone tradition” elective for the Willamette English major. Two of the WR classes list will equal Willamette’s ENGL102W (or, for literature students, one WR class and one ENG class will equal a generic ENGL elective).
Students who are native/home speakers of a language other than English may be exempted from the first year of Willamette’s language requirement. Those who wish to study a language offered at Willamette and not at Clackamas (Chinese, Japanese, Latin, Greek, German, or Russian) may postpone their language study till arriving at Willamette, taking a year of language in lieu of two elective courses in their junior year.

Notes:
Two 3 or 4-credit classes at Clackamas 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 215, 219, or 231 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. Those who wish to study a language offered at Willamette and not at Clackamas (Chinese, Japanese, Latin, Greek, German, or Russian) may postpone their language study till arriving at Willamette, taking a year of language in lieu of two elective courses in their junior year.
