Core Substitute Courses

Lewis & Clark Substitute Courses for Transfer Students Who Need Core 106 or Core 107

All transfer students must meet the General Education requirement for Core 106 and 107. The requirement may be satisfied through transfer credit, to be determined by the Office of the Registrar or, depending on the number of credits you transfer, through one of the following options:

Students transferring to Lewis & Clark in the fall with fewer than 16 semester credits (excluding IB and AP credit) must take Core 106 and 107 in their first year.

Students transferring with 16-28 semester credits (excluding IB and AP credit) of which 3 or more credits are from an approved writing-intensive course, must take either Core 106 or 107. If a student has no approved transfer course, both Core 106 and 107 are required.

Students transferring with 29+ credits (excluding IB and AP credit) must satisfy the Core 106/107 requirement by transferring approved writing-intensive courses or by taking two courses from the following list.

In order for a transfer course to substitute for Core, it must be at least 3 semester credits and require at least 20 pages of expository writing with feedback from the instructor about that writing. Often, a syllabus or statement from the instructor is needed for evaluation.

Courses used as Core substitute may not be used to fulfill any other General Education or major or minor requirements.
