Page A-21 Section B: Degree and Certificate Requirements Certificate/Degree Summary of Correction Page Academic Residency Requirements Updated Information In an effort to accommodate our mobile student population, Clark College has adopted a residency policy that recognizes the value of coursework completed from other institutions of higher learning. To obtain a degree or certificate from Clark College, students are required to earn a minimum number of credits in residence at our institution. Clark College does allow students to transfer credits toward meeting degree or certificate program requirements. There is no restriction on the number of transfer credits allowed; however, students must meet the minimum in-residence credit at Clark College for their specific program. Refer to the following information for specific requirements and restrictions for each type of program: Associate Degree A minimum of thirty (30) credits, pre-college or college level must be completed at Clark College at any time to meet Academic Residency. Certificate of Proficiency A minimum of fifteen (15) credits, pre-college or college level must be completed at Clark College at any time to B-3

Pass/Fail Grading Option: Sixty (60) credits maximum in courses with Pass/Fail grading option can apply toward the degree, with the exception of the AA Nursing degree which exceeds this limit because of clinical requirements. Quantitative Skills (Q) 5 credits¹: 1. Five (5) credits of college level mathematics (a course with a Mathematics prefix numbered 100 or above²) that furnishes the quantitative skills required in the commonly recognized educational transfer pathways toward a baccalaureate degree. Accepted courses in these pathways are: Precalculus or higher, Mathematics for Elementary Education³, Business Precalculus/Finite Mathematics, Statistics, and Math in Society; or 2. Five (5) credits of a symbolic logic course that focuses on (a) sentence logic with proofs and (b) predicate logic with quantifiers and proofs and/or Aristotelian logic with Venn Diagrams. ¹For admission to the institution, the University of Washington requires completion of the course designated Algebra II (integrated Math III: Math 098) at either the high school or community college. However, UW recognizes the new QSR as fulfilling the DTA QSR requirement. ²To qualify for QSR, college level math and logic courses must require intermediate algebra course work (high school or college) with a grace of 2.0 or higher as a prerequisite. ³The University of Washington accepts Mathematics for Elementary Education for elective credit, but not as meeting its QSR requirement, since UUW offers no degree pathway for which it is appropriate.
