GER UCORE Crosswalk
For FORMER STUDENTS RETURNING (FSRs) ONLY
The implementation of Rule 110 for Former Students Returning begins with students admitted for Spring 2015. These students will be held to UCORE requirements, regardless of their initial postsecondary education date (IPED date).
As many of these former students may have already made significant progress towards completing the 2009 GERs, this “crosswalk” was put into place that will allow for courses taken prior to Fall 2012 with a GER attribute to be utilized for UCORE and additional college requirements.
Students who were enrolled at WSU prior to Fall 2012, and who completed the 2009 GERs, are considered to have satisfied the current UCORE.
Students with incomplete general education requirements (such as GERs or GURs), or who completed general education requirements prior to 2009, will work with their academic advisor to map completed coursework to the current UCORE requirements.

Anything not specified below requires University petition.
[H] courses were not included in the crosswalk because they can represent either [HUM] or [ARTS]. Upon request from advisor, the Graduations area will apply [H] courses with a MUSIC, ARTS, or FINE ARTS prefix to the [ARTS] requirement and will apply courses with all other prefixes to the [HUM] requirement. PHIL 201 can be applied to either [QUAN] or [HUM]. If [HUM] requirements are satisfied, courses with a [G] attribute may be used to fulfill the [DIVR] or [EQJS] requirement upon petition to the University Requirements Petition Committee.
If [SSCI] requirements are satisfied, courses with a [K] attribute may be used to fulfill the [DIVR] or [EQJS] requirement upon petition to the University Requirements Petition Committee.
If a student took a course that subsequently acquired a [D] attribute, that course may fulfill [DIVR] or [EQJS] upon petition to the University Requirements Petition Committee.
Requests to have [Q] [U] and [Z] courses applied to UCORE requirements should be directed to the University Requirements Petition Committee.
Courses that did not have a UCORE attribute at the time taken, but which subsequently received one, may be used to satisfy the UCORE category. This is accomplished via an advisor email request to the Graduations area. The student must have received a letter grade in the course; courses taken Pass/Fail, Satisfactory/Fail, or via other grading systems are not eligible for UCORE.
GER courses taken Fall 2012 or later by students who were admitted or readmitted under GERs can be used to fulfill UCORE requirements via the crosswalk.
Former students (FSRs) who are admitted under UCORE and had their transfer courses evaluated under UCORE will not be given GER credit retroactively.
All other requests should be directed to the University Requirements Petition Committee.
