Additional Advising Notes:
- Students who plan to transfer should select elective courses based on the needs of their transfer institution. See 2+2 agreements with the appropriate institution for more information.
- Please be sure to check the courses required for your final degree at the four-year institution you plan to attend after finishing at CWI. It is absolutely imperative that you know which classes are required to obtain a bachelor's degree at that institution.
- It is possible to get prior learning assessment (PLA) credit for ENGL 101 if the student successfully passes ENGL 102. Visit the CWI Prior Learning Assessment webpage for more information.
