Does PLU give junior status to students with an Associate of Arts and Sciences degree?
PLU does not grant junior standing for any associate degree that is not recognized by the Direct Transfer Agreement (DTA). If a degree is not part of the Direct Transfer Agreement (Such as Associate of Applied Arts, Associate of Applied Science, Associate of Technical Arts, and Associate of General Studies), a student is not guaranteed junior standing at PLU. Associate degrees completed at a technical college or credits from any other institution without regional accreditation are granted recognition on a case-by-case basis. Students who earn a DTA Associate of Arts degree from a community college in the State of Washington are guaranteed junior standing (60 semester hours) upon entrance to PLU. A final transcript is required which shows the AA degree has been awarded. If the AA degree is from a community college outside of the State of Washington or if the degree is an Associate in Technical Arts from any community college, junior standing is not guaranteed.
