DegreesASSOCIATE IN INTEGRATED STUDIES DTA90 CREDITSThis degree is designed for those students who are interested in earning a two-year academic degree. This 90-credit degree is mostoften an appropriate goal for students who intend to transfer to four-year colleges and universities. The Associate in IntegratedStudies degree is also the degree of choice for students who intend to transfer, but who are undecided about which baccalaureateinstitution they will attend. It is considered a Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA) because the AIS degree is designed to satisfy most (ifnot all) of the general education requirements of most public colleges and universities in Washington State. By virtue of thisagreement, students will generally transfer with junior standing and fulfill all or most general education requirements. It is notnecessary to complete a degree at Cascadia to be eligible to transfer to a baccalaureate-granting college or university, but mostbaccalaureate-granting colleges and universities or programs within those colleges and universities give admission preference totransfer students who have completed the two-year transfer degree.A Global Studies Endorsement option of the AIS degree is also available to students who complete a minimum of 45 credit hours ofGlobal Studies (GS) designated courses, and an additional 15 hours of service-learning, study abroad, or an internship. These hoursmay be embedded in any of the Global Studies designated courses, a stand-alone course/experience, or granted as a result of astudent-initiated petition. Students wishing to be awarded a Global Studies Endorsement should contact an advisor.Completion RequirementsThe Associate in Integrated Studies degree (AIS) requires at least 90 credit hours in college level courses (numbered 100 or above), aminimum cumulative 2.0 grade point average, a minimum of 25 credits in residence at Cascadia, and completion of all of therequirements for this degree.

Students should workclosely with academic advisors beforeattempting to transfer courses that arespecialized components of a two-yearprofessional/technical program.• Cascadia students may earn creditsbeyond the 90 necessary for the degree,however, the transfer institution willdetermine how those excess credits maybe used. Credits completed at thelower-division level rarely supplantcredits required at the upper-divisionlevel. Usually, 90 additional credits willbe required at the upper-division levelto earn a baccalaureate degree.• An institution to which an officialtranscript is sent may re-compute thegrade point average of the student inaccordance with its own requirementsand policies.A student should follow the proceduresdescribed below to transfer satisfactorilyto a baccalaureate institution.1. Obtain a current catalog of theinstitution to which the student wishesto transfer and study its admissionrequirements and its suggestedfreshman and sophomore level coursesin the major field of interest.Institutions differ in treatment ofcredits received.2. Meet with a Cascadia CommunityCollege advisor about transfer needs.Many curriculum-planning guides fortransfer to baccalaureate institutionsare supplied by the college.3. Contact an admissions officer at thebaccalaureate institution for furtherinformation about curriculum andtransfer regulations.4. Check carefully at least two quartersbefore transfering to be sure that allrequirements will be met and allregulations are observed to thesatisfaction of the baccalaureateinstitution.Last minute changes in a major field ofstudy or choice of baccalaureateinstitution may cause Cascadia’s credits totransfer in different ways. Changes shouldbe evaluated so that the consequences areunderstood.Non-TransferableCoursesThe following courses will not transfer toany four-year college:1. Courses numbered below 100.2. Certain courses numbered 100 orabove, such as continuing educationand English as a Second Language.(These are not normally transferable;consult with an advisor for moreinformation.)3.

Thetranscript will show that a course hasbeen repeated, except in certaindesignated courses where the studentmay, by re-registering, obtain additionalcredits and grade points. Financial aidstudents should contact Student FinancialServices to inquire whether financial aidwill cover the cost of repeating a course.Students should be aware that otherschools and universities may treatrepeated classes differently.Grade Point Average (GPA)Students’ quarterly grade point averagesare calculated as follows:1. The number of credits for a coursemultiplied by the numerical gradeawarded to obtain the grade points forthat course.2. Add the grade points for all coursestaken.3. Divide the sum of the grade pointsearned by the total number of creditsattempted in course awardingnumerical grades to obtain the GPAfor a particular quarter. I,N, P/NP, W,and Z grades are not used in computinggrade point average.68 Catalog 2010-11 Cascadia Community College
