Fill out the DPP Override Request Form.

The short answer is - as soon as you are eligible. This way, if WOU's programs change some of their requirements, you will not have to retake classes. As a DPP student, you are a WOU student and will earn catalog rights once you have taken your first credit at WOU.

At the very latest, you should apply for DPP about a month prior to the start of the term you'd like to begin taking classes at WOU.

College Transcripts: When applying to WOU, request your college transcripts to be sent to WOU for all of your college coursework. All official transcripts need to come directly from the school that awarded the credits   (regardless if LBCC has received/evaluated them). LBCC will not automatically send transcripts to WOU for the application process; they need to be requested. 

High School Transcripts: If you completed the foreign language requirement by taking two years of foreign language in high school, you will need to have your official high school transcripts sent to WOU as well.

As a current LBCC student transitioning to WOU, you will not be required to take additional placement tests.

WOU evaluates all DPP applications. For transfer students, WOU is looking at the following criteria:

• Completed 36 transferable, college-level credits
• Earn a GPA of 2.25 or higher

WOU will notify students of admission once they have evaluated all requested transcripts. This can take four to six weeks. Keep an eye out on the email used to set up the application. If WOU feels your application is incomplete (for example, they have not received official transcripts from a school), they will send you an email requesting the required information.

All WOU students are required to pay this fee the first term they enroll in classes at WOU.

Fee payment information can be found on WOU's Accounting & Business Services.

See WOU's Academic Calendar.

You must sign up to attend an orientation session prior to the term that you are planning on taking classes at WOU. During the summer, there are several SOAR orientation sessions for transfer students. Between terms, there will be at least one session as well. During the orientation, you will learn about transitional resources at WOU, meet with a WOU advisor, and be assigned to the time you may register for WOU classes.

See your LBCC advisor regularly! Meeting with a WOU advisor at is another great way to be reassured that you are on-track (view the advising calendar on our home page). Following the catalog plan of study for an AAOT degree will also ensure that your courses transfer to WOU. We also have transfer guides that can be used as an additional reference, although there is no substitute for meeting with your advisor.

Currently enrolled WOU students and new students planning to attend a SOAR session at WOU are not required to attend an orientation at LBCC. We do, however, have different policies and systems here than at WOU, and it is important for you to be familiar with these. 

Once we have your account set up, you will receive an email with your LBCC ID number and a claim code to set up your single sign-sn password in Webrunner. In Webrunner, under the "Student" tab, you'll see the "Registration" link where you can register for classes.

Although the credits you're taking at both schools are added together to show your full credit load, our billing systems are not connected. WOU will not send LBCC money directly. It is your responsibility to pay your bill at LBCC. LBCC offers multiple ways to pay.

You can re-take a class that you failed, and when you pass that class at LBCC, it can meet graduation or program requirements at WOU. However, you cannot replace the grade you got at WOU with the grade you got at LBCC (or vice verse). Grade replacements can only happen within the same institution. Generally, we tell students to re-take the class they failed at the institution they originally took the class.

Although all classes are different, the short answer is no. When a class counts at both institutions, it's because both schools have reviewed the class and found that it leads to students reaching the same learning outcomes. Classes at LBCC are often smaller, which means that you get more interaction with the instructor, and the instructor can assign more grading-intensive projects. This means that an LBCC class is just as hard, if not harder, than the same class at WOU.

Meeting with a WOU advisor at our office is a great way to be reassured that you are on-track (view the advising calendar on our home page). Following the catalog plan of study for an AAOT degree will also ensure that your courses transfer to WOU. Many programs have developed advising guides that list courses beyond those included in the AS that will transfer to WOU in your major (ask your advisor!).
