The Associate of Science Oregon Transfer in Computer Science (ASOT-CS) degree has computer science-focused lower division general education requirements accepted by public universities in Oregon, and electives tailored for requirements at each intended transfer institution. Students transferring with this degree will have junior standing for registration purposes only.
The ASOT-CS degree does not guarantee admission to Oregon universities, admission to a competitive computer science major, or junior standing in a major. Course, class standing, or GPA requirements for specific majors, departments, or schools are not necessarily satisfied by an ASOT-CS degree.
Each student is strongly encouraged to work with an academic advisor to select degree requirement courses that align with requirements at an intended transfer institution. Requirements at institutions vary, and elective choices differ depending on the intended transfer institution. Each student must contact the specific computer science school/program early in the first year of an ASOT-CS degree to be advised about additional requirements and procedures for admission consideration to the transfer institution and the school/program.

- Transfer institution requirements. Consult Lane's Academic Advising department for a list of recommended coursework. Transfer institution requirements may change without notice.
Footnotes
1 – A minimum of 8 credits of Writing is required. In the event a previous writing course was taken for 3 credits, students will need 3 courses: WR 121Z, WR 122Z and WR 123 or WR 227Z. Note: WR 227Z will meet additional requirements for some Computer Science baccalaureate programs. Contact your academic advisor for details
2 – Check with your academic advisor about math grade requirements for individual transfer institutions as they may differ. More math may also be needed for the major
3 – CS 161N/CS 162N and CS 161P/CS 162P is also accepted. Some computer science baccalaureate programs require specific programming courses. Students planning to transfer should contact their academic advisor for help determining the appropriate computer science programming sequence
Notes
- College-level courses are numbered 100 or higher. Courses numbered 001-099 identify developmental courses (e.g. RD 090), with the exception of ENG 110, 116, 117; MTH 100, RD 115, WR 110, 120 and WR 115 (taken before summer 1999), which are also considered developmental.
- Foundational Skills are open to demonstration of proficiency. For information on waiver testing or credit for prior learning, contact an academic advisor. Waiver testing is not the same as placement testing.
- 200-level second language courses count toward the Arts and Letters requirement. American Sign Language (ASL) is considered a second language.
- University second language admission requirements for transfer students graduating high school 1997 or later include one of the following:
- Two terms of the same college-level second language with an average grade of C- or above.
- Two years of the same high school-level second language with an average grade of C- or above.
- Satisfactory performance on an approved second language assessment of proficiency.
- Demonstrated proficiency in American Sign Language meets second language admission requirements.
- Credit-by-Exam and Credit-by-Assessment may comprise no more than 25% of total degree credits.
- Only the Academic Requirements Review Committee (ARRC) may waive a college-related instruction requirement. Petitions are available from Enrollment Services at https://www.lanecc.edu/administration/enrollment-services/general-education-substitution-and-waiver-petition.
- Repeatable courses may be used once to meet a Discipline Studies requirement. Any additional allowable repeats may be used to meet Elective requirements.
- Some courses are included on more than one Discipline Studies list. These courses may be used only once to meet a specific Discipline Studies requirement. Please contact your academic advisor for details.
- Lower-division college-level courses taken at Lane will not always meet the same requirements an upper-division college-level course with similar content does at a four-year transfer institution. In such cases, the course(s) in question will generally transfer as an elective. Please contact specific four-year schools for details.
- General Information on transferring in credits from a prior institution: https://www.lanecc.edu/costs-admission/transferring-prior-college-credit-lane.
- Courses numbered 197, 198, 199, 280, 297, 298, or 299 count as electives and do not meet Foundational Skills or Discipline Studies requirements. Courses numbered 199 and 299 are experimental and may later be reviewed and approved to meet Discipline Studies requirements.
- Although the ASOT-Computer Science degree provides an excellent framework for many students pursuing a baccalaureate degree in computer science, it is not ideal for all students. Students should consult with a computer science academic advisor.
- HE 252 can be used in the Health/Wellness/Fitness category if taken in Summer 1997 or after. Prior to this, HE 252 would be considered an elective.
