Plan of Study 2021-2022

The following is a plan of requirements to complete this Associate of Science degree in 2 years. Each student’s experience will vary slightly, as this plan does not include transfer work, Advanced Placement (AP), or other institutions’ concurrent enrollment credits. Math and English placement will be based on the student’s appropriate placement scores. If developmental courses are required, they should be taken in the student’s first semester.

NOTE: This plan assumes the student is prepared to take the courses listed. If prerequisites are required, additional semesters may be required to complete this degree.

Advising Notes

SPECIAL ADVISING NOTE for students interested in majoring in Communication at the University of Utah or Weber State University:

• You are strongly encouraged to get your COMM degree at SLCC before transferring.
• A degree in COMM from SLCC benefits you financially as well as provides a solid curricular foundation.

University of Utah:

• 4 SLCC COMM courses may be transferred to your U of U COMM degree; check for GPA guidelines.
• You may take the two-credit U of U course, COMM 3060—Bridge to Communication, during Spring semester at the South City campus, for reduced tuition while still a student at SLCC.
• The TIG course will familiarize you with the U of U’s Communication program, instructors, staff, and facilities.
• Complete the TIG course and you will receive higher priority for U of U enrollment.
• Complete the TIG course and you can declare your U of U Communication major upon admission, one semester earlier than other transfer students.
• SLCC students are encouraged to take the TIG course, but it is not required to transfer. Students can still complete 9 credit hours at the U of U (including at least one U of U Communication course with a C or better), earn a 2.75 U of U GPA, and declare the Communication major.

Weber State University:

The WSU Department of Communication agrees to substitute certain required courses for transfer students from SLCC
that have completed a course at SLCC approved by the WSU Department of Communication Chair and curriculum
committee with a grade of “C” or better. For a detailed list of approved substitution courses, click here.
