Footnotes
1 – While MTH 211 fulfills the math requirement for Core Transfer Maps, it is also a major requirement. Thus a grade of C- or higher (P not accepted) is required
2 – To earn the CTM notation on a transcript, students must meet all the CTM requirements with a minimum of 30 credits. This notation is not automatically awarded. If you believe that you have completed the requirements for the Core Transfer Map, and would like the CTM notated on your transcript please send an email with your request to degreeevaluators@lanecc.edu
3 – MTH 211/212/213 series only starts in the fall. Work with an academic advisor to ensure you’re ready to start the series in fall
Notes
- Students must complete all required courses to earn this degree. Equivalent courses of 3 credits or higher may be transferred in and used to meet core or major requirements. To earn a Core Transfer Map (CTM) transcript notation, students must complete required courses and have a minimum of 30 CTM credits.
- 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

- 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.
