Transfer Credits
Have Transfer Credits?
Transcripts must remain in the sealed envelope to be considered official and in order to be processed. If transcripts are being sent electronically, please have them sent directly to admission@yvcc.edu.
For information on courses from Washington colleges and universities that are accepted in transfer to YVC. Please note that not all courses from all Washington colleges and universities have been reviewed. Courses not listed will be reviewed upon your application fee payment to YVC.
YVC will evaluate and grant credit hours for military education based on the recommendations from the American Council on Education’s (ACE) Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services. This is in accordance with transfer credit policies at YVC and the State Board of Community and Technical Colleges (SBCTC). Students may request an evaluation of military credit by providing the Admissions Office with an official copy of their Joint Service Transcript (JST).

Washington State Equivalencies
Effective Summer 2007, Washington State community and technical colleges are participating in common course numbering. These courses are identified with an ampersand symbol (&). If you take one of those courses at a Washington State community or technical college, it will transfer to YVC as the same course (e.g., ENGL& 101 will transfer as ENGL& 101). Please review the list of common courses.
Transfer to a 4-Year Institution
Approximately 40% of all baccalaureate graduates in Washington first earn their 2-year transfer degree from a community/technical college such as YVC. In addition to completing your associates you want to check with your desired institution for specific transfer requirements.
Items to consider include:
- Major programs of study – does the school have the degree you want to earn?
- Admissions process – check application requirements, procedures and deadlines.
- Cost of Attendance – 4-year public and private school tuition rates are substantially more than YVC.
- Additionally, consider housing and other costs if you are moving away from home.
YVC hosts several Transfer Fairs throughout the year with various 4-year colleges attending.
