Core Transfer Map

The Core Transfer Map (CTM) is a grouping of eight courses that adds up to at least 30 credits. The CTM is a broad description of course requirements for students at any Oregon community college or public university. Students who have not yet declared a major and plan to transfer may take courses that fit these categories at any Oregon community college and expect all courses to transfer and meet at least 30 credits of General Education requirements for a bachelor’s degree at any Oregon public university. 

Students should work closely with an academic advisor to ensure selection of appropriate course work. Upon transfer, students may be required to complete additional course work in General Education, or an academic major, that is specific to the receiving institution.

All courses must be completed with a grade of C or higher. Students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 at the time the module is completed and are advised to take all courses for the CTM for a letter grade. Many colleges and universities have a limit on the number of Pass/Fail courses students can take.
