Duplicate-credit courses

The following is a list of instances in which a student does not receive credit for one course because s/he has already taken another. This AIF is concerned primarily with separate courses that are considered to have overlapping content, and with advanced courses that preclude credit for more elementary ones. Specific courses are listed below.

Courses which are also considered duplicate credit but are not listed below:

Courses that have changed numbers
Courses that are offered jointly by two departments ("double-listed" courses)

Credits and grades

Since credit for a duplication is not removed until after the course has been completed, duplicate credits do count toward the student's credit total for the quarter. They count toward the 12-credit minimum required for students on finanacial aid, international students, etc.

Even after the credit has been removed, grades in duplicate courses are included in the student's GPA.

Miscellaneous courses

There are relatively few duplicates outside of mathematics, chemistry, and the language departments. Advisers should try to commit to memory the general-education courses on this list in boldface. Other duplications on this list occur infrequently or involve courses no longer offered.

Foreign languages

In all languages at the first- and second-year levels, credit is not allowed for a prerequisite course taken after a more advanced course. For courses beyond the second year, policies differ from department to department. Credit policies for specific course combinations are listed below. A number of these courses are no longer offered.

ASIAN LANGUAGES AND LITERATURE

Prior to autumn 2002, first-, second, and third-year Chinese courses were numbered 111, 112, 113; 211, 212, 213; and 311, 312, 313. Starting in autumn 2002, these courses became the "heritage" sequences for students with some background in the language, and the first- and second-year sequences for students with no background in Chinese were given new course numbers: 101, 102, 103; 201, 202, 203; 301, 302, 303. The heritage and non-heritage sequences roughly parallel one another and credit is not allowed for both.

UW offers instruction in Mandarin Chinese. Cantonese is considered to be a different dialect, not a separate language, and credit is not allowed for both.

As in Chinese, we offer "heritage" sequences for students with some background in Korean, and sequences for students with no background in Korean. The heritage and non-heritage sequences roughly parallel one another and credit is not allowed for both.

UW-Bothell & UW-Tacoma courses

Beginning in autumn 2006, UW-Bothell and UW-Tacoma began offering lower division courses that are duplicates of UW-Seattle courses. DARS is programmed to catch these duplicates and remove credit from the second one if both are taken. Since the courses have very different prefixes, advisers should be aware of and keep an eye out for these courses. More will be added as UW-Bothell and UW-Tacoma continue to increase the numbers of freshmen they admit.

UW-Bothell

B CUSP 124 = MATH 124
B CUSP 142 = CHEM 141
B CUSP 152 = CHEM 152

B CUSP 200 = ECON 200
B CUSP 201 = ECON 201

Will not receive credit for both courses in each pair

Courses that are not duplications of each other

Certain courses have been "replaced" by others in the curriculum, but the new course in each case is more than a simple renumbering of the old course, and the official course description does not advertise it as a duplication. Credit may be earned for both courses in the following pairs:

ASTR 102 and ASTR 211
ENV S 101 and GEN ST 110
