and Course Overview
Oregon Transfer Module (OTM)

The Oregon Transfer Module (OTM) provides a one-year cur-
riculum for students who plan to transfer to a State of Oregon
community college or university. The module allows students to
complete one year of general education foundation course work
that is academically sound and will meet the admission standards
of the receiving school. The OTM is not a certificate or degree.
Students should work closely with an academic advisor to ensure

selection of appropriate course work. Upon transfer, students may
be required to complete additional course work in general educa-
tion, or an academic major, that is specific to the receiving institu-
tion. Students who transfer prior to the completion of the Oregon
Transfer Module will have their courses individually evaluated by
the receiving institution.
Students must complete a minimum of 45 credits of lower division

course work with a grade of “C-” or better in order to complete the
Oregon Transfer Module. Students only need to take one course
at PCC that applies to the OTM to have PCC be the school which
transcripts it. The OTM worksheet is provided in the Appendix
section. PCC charges a $10 fee to transcript the OTM.

DESCRIPTION
Writing is fundamental to learning to think and express ones
thoughts in ways that reach others. The ability to use language
coherently and powerfully, to write in ways that connect with others
across cultural boundaries and within communities, to persuade, 
to inform, to inquire and discover, and to express oneself--these 
are all essential to active citizenship and to success in almost any
profession.  The writing courses at PCC enable students to think
creatively and prepare them as they transfer to universities and
evolve vocationally. 
PCC’s English Composition Program courses prepare students for

the written work of upper division courses and graduate education;
also, writing courses meet the requirements for several associate
degree and certificate programs at PCC. For students who wish to
transfer to a four-year Oregon college or university, WR 121, 122
and/or WR 227 satisfy the writing course requirements. Writing
transfer courses are offered under the subject headings of English
Composition, Business and Technical Writing, and Creative Writ-
ing. Conferences are an integral part of the instructional process
in all writing courses, and students should expect at least two
per term.
Students are required to take the writing placement examination to

determine appropriate placement in a writing course. Testing centers
are available at Cascade, Rock Creek, Southeast Center or Sylvania.
Once students receive placement scores, they should check with an
advisor before enrolling in a writing course.
