Community College Transfer Students COVID-19 Statement ’s Baccalaureate Universities and Colleges

April 7, 2020

Washington’s public and not-for-profit, private four-year colleges and universities understand the extraordinary circumstances of COVID-19 and its impact on students and families. As Washington higher education institutions, our first priority is contributing to the efforts to bolster the health and safety of our communities. As we do that, we support Washington’s community and technical college students as they maintain hope about their future and continue to pursue their collegiate goals. Each campus is here to help students and their families navigate community and technical college transfer to Washington’s baccalaureate institutions during these challenging times.

Our four-year institutions continue to collaborate across their sectors and in partnership with Washington’s community and technical colleges. Our goal is to communicate the most recent policies and practices to ensure that students are successful in attaining their education and career goals.

We also recognize that the impact of COVID-19 on students, families and institutions is fluid and changing. We are committed to communicating, collaborating and engaging students, families and partners now and in the future as we identify impacts, together we are:

• Moving all activities related to transfer admitted student programs, transfer advising and campus visitations to a virtual experience/ platform, or we have made the decision to cancel events.

• Integrating flexibility into the transfer process to ease, to the extent possible, the disruption for Washington’s community and technical college students. Each university or college has institutional microsites dedicated to COVID-19 information.

• Encouraging Washington community and technical college students to contact their intended transfer institution. Each university or college has identified below a point of contact for transfer.
