Walla Walla Community Collegeand

the College ofAgricultural, Human, and Natural Resource SciencesWashington State University

Walla Walla Community College (WWCC) and Washington State University (WSU) hereby enter into aMemorandum of Understanding (MOU) based on a Customized Articulation Agreement (CAA) fortransfer students from WWCC to WSU with the Associate in Applied Arts and Sciences Degree inWatershed Ecology-EES who follow the attached advising recommendations and matriculate into Earthand Environmental Sciences degree in Environmental & Ecosystem Sciences in the College ofAgricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences (CAHNRS) and College of Arts and Sciences(CAS) at Washington State University.

This Customized Articulation Agreement is intended to eliminate duplication of coursework and betterintegrate programs to ensure a more efficient pathway to graduation. The purpose of this set of advisingrecommendations is to provide students of WWCC a more efficient transfer pathway to WSU. Studentswho complete the Associate in Applied Arts and Sciences Degree in Watershed Ecology-EES with atleast a 2.0 cumulative grade point average will be certified as Environmental & Ecosystem Sciencesmajors at WSU; and will be granted Junior standing, assuming the total number of credits accepted intransfer equals at least 60 semester credits.

Transfer coursework for students completing the Associate in Applied Arts and Sciences Degree inWatershed Ecology-EES covered by this MOU will be applied to the Washington State UniversityCommon Requirements (UCORE, the general education program), as applicable under the WSU TransferCourse Equivalency Guidelines, and to the individual degree options within the CAHNRS and CAS asspecified in this agreement. The transfer of credit allowed under this MOU is structured to maximizetheuse of Walla Walla Community College credit applicable to each specific degree option, up to the total of73 semester credits of lower-division transfer credit allowed under Washington State University policy.All such credit not applicable under the WSU Transfer Course Equivalency Guidelines applies only to theWSU degree(s) covered by this agreement. If students transfer prior to completing the transfer degree,acceptance of the courses toward a WSU degree will be based on WSU Transfer Equivalency Guidelines.

The agreed upon courses of study are outlined in Attachments A and B of this MOU. Attachment Adetails the specific set of requirements to be completed at Walla Walla Community College andWashington State University in order to earn an Earth and Environmental Sciences degree inEnvironmental & Ecosystem Sciences. Attachment B specifies the required term-by-term course of studyas offered by WWCC and WSU.

The required course of study may be changed at any time with the mutual written agreement of theparticipating institutions. At such time, the Attachments to this MOU will be updated. Suggestions aboutwhich courses of study need to be reviewed will be called for each year. However, unless otherwiseagreed upon by both institutions on an individual student basis, students will be responsible for the courseof study at Walla Walla Community College and Washington State University in effect at the time thestudent enters the Walla Walla Community College Associate in Applied Arts and Sciences Degree inWatershed Ecology-EES specified in this MOU.

The additional [M] coursemust be approved by the student's academic advisor8WTM 139 is not a direct equivalent to NATRS 460 or GEOL 315, but will be accepted to satisfy the water sciencerequirement for this major9Professional electives must be approved by the academic advisor10 Both ENT 150 and 151 are required to meet the SOIL SCI 368 equivalent at WSU.11 Studentsmay fulfill their experiential requirement by enrolling in 3 credits of internship (NATRS 479 orENVR_SCI 595, or by completing a milestone of 135 hours12 Both CHEM 121 (fall) and CHEM 122 (winter) are required to meet the CHEM 101 equivalent at WSU.Similarly, both CHEM 161 (fall) and CHEM 162 (winter) are required to meet the CHEM 105 equivalent at WSU.13 Both BIOL 213 and BIOL 212 are required to meet the BIOL 106 equivalent at WSU.
