Evergreen students will accumulate academic credit for work well done and levels of performance reached and surpassed. Only if students fulfill their academic obligations will full credit be entered on their permanent academic records. Otherwise, there will be either no entry, or the recording of fewer units of credit will represent what they have actually accomplished.
Academic credit is measured in standard quarter hours.
Sixteen quarter-hours is the maximum credit a student can receive per quarter. Continuation beyond 200 quarter-hours without graduating requires approval of an educational plan by an academic dean. A transfer student from another college must earn at least 45 of the last 90 quarter-hours of credit as an enrolled student at Evergreen to be eligible for an Evergreen degree. It is possible to earn a second Evergreen baccalaureate degree by completing at least an additional 45 quarter-hours of credit as an enrolled Evergreen student. Each program also requires completion of a core program, a set of electives and a thesis or application project.
