Representatives of the Computer Science Department at PCC and the Computer Science Department at PSU will do their best to maintain an accurate equivalency list and communicate changes to each other in a timely manner. Those changes will be made in PSU's Course Applicability System, available on the web at: www.cas.pdx.edu.

PCC students who have questions regarding the transferability of their credits or other advising questions should contact the following:

Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science (MCECS): Transfer Advisors: (503)725-4631

Computer Science Department: (503)-725-4631

Information and Academic Support Center (IASC)

Community College Relations and Advising: (503)-725-4005

All majors are open to students completing these courses. Suggested major is: Computer Science. Students majoring in Computer Science at PSU must complete these courses with a grade of C or above.

The Bachelor's of Art and/or the Bachelor's of Science at PSU will be inclusive of college eligibility, the seven-year catalog rule, general education, major and degree requirements as noted in the PSU Bulletin. Students will have been advised at the community college regarding the BA/BS requirements in order to transfer either having met them or prepared to complete those requirements at PSU. Note: Students completing a major in Computer Science at PSU must complete the Bachelor of Science requirements.

Changes in these understandings will be communicated by either party in writing no later than June 30 of any academic year.
