51³Ô¹Ï

Two-Year Graduation Guarantee

Changing schools doesn’t mean starting over. When you transfer to 51³Ô¹Ï with an eligible associate’s degree, you can complete your bachelor’s degree in two years. 

We guarantee Pacific will provide all the courses that you will need to graduate in a qualifying major in two years. If we fail to offer a required course, Pacific will authorize a substitute, waive the requirement, or cover the tuition costs for you to take the required course(s) at Pacific the next semester that it is offered.

Two-Year Graduation GuaranteeHere's How It Works

Students who transfer to 51³Ô¹Ï with an associate’s degree from a school in Oregon, Washington, California or Hawai‘i are eligible for the guarantee as part of the Pacific Priority program. You will meet with an advisor from Academic & Career Advising and complete your academic plan. Then, follow that plan to qualify for the guarantee.

Your Responsibilities

  • Submit a signed agreement by the end of the fourth week of their first semester at Pacific.
  • Enroll at Pacific with a completed AAOT (Oregon), DTA (Washington), IGETC/CSU-GE (California) or LBRT (Hawai'i) degree
  • Meet with an advisor from Academic and Career Advising to complete a Two-Year Academic Plan
  • Maintain continuous, full-time enrollment at Pacific for four semesters and two winter terms
  • Declare a single major with no minors
  • Complete 100% of all attempted coursework with a grade of C or better
  • Follow the established Two-Year Academic Plan by taking all the courses identified in the plan each semester
  • Not fail or need to repeat any coursework required for the degree
  • Meet with your academic advisor each semester to review graduation requirements
  • Have no registration holds or restrictions that would prevent you from registering for your classes during their assigned registration periods

Other Considerations

The two-year graduation guarantee applies to Forest Grove undergraduate students in most majors. 

Some majors have complex progressions that are not reasonable to complete in two years, depending on prerequisites, and a few of Pacific’s undergraduate programs are specifically designed to take longer than a traditional four years. Eligible majors will be identified during your initial academic planning meeting.

Dual-degree pathways, like the kinesiology/athletic training 3:2 program, engineering science 3:2 program, environmental science/pharmacy 3+3 program and other programs, are not eligible for the two-year guarantee.

Pacific encouraged study abroad opportunities, but study abroad cannot be guaranteed within a two-year graduation timeline. Students studying abroad for a semester or longer are not included in the two-year guarantee. If you are interested in a study abroad program, consult with your academic advisor.
