Petitioning for UCORE Credit

Students may seek equivalency for UCORE credit earned outside of courses offered through the UCORE program. These may include:

  • Courses completed at another accredited college or university. Many transfer courses have already been approved as equivalent to certain UCORE designations.
  • Courses completed during or scheduled for an education abroad experience. Many education abroad courses have already been approved as equivalent to a UCORE designation.
  • WSU courses that do not hold a UCORE designation, including Honors courses.

Students should work with advisors to complete and submit a petition to the University Requirement Petitions committee: univreq.petitions@wsu.edu. The petition form should include your advisor’s signature. When submitting the petition form, please also include copies of relevant course syllabi, a current copy of the student’s WSU Academic Requirement record, and—if applicable—transcripts from other institutions.
