In 2003, the legislature and governor enacted House Bill 1909 to create a pilot project on competency-based transfer between two--and four--year colleges and universities. The legislation directed the Higher Education Coordinating Board (HECB) to select institutions to define transfer requirements in several disciplines on the basis of students' skills and knowledge. Eastern Washington University and the two community colleges in Spokane, which volunteered to undertake the project, began the pilot in fall 2003. The participating institutions, in collaboration with the Higher Education Coordinating Board, were directed to report on the progress and status of the project to the legislative higher education committees by December 1, 2005. This report, subject to the approval of the HECB, is intended to fulfill that requirement. Competency-based transfer is described in the statute as "the knowledge, skills and abilities students should possess in order to enter an upper division program in a particular academic discipline." In contrast to the current system, it does not necessarily involve "seat time" or the successful completion of a specified number of classes as a measure of student achievement and preparation for transfer. Rather, students must demonstrate that they have mastered the necessary knowledge through a series of assessments. The objective of the legislation was to create a pilot project that explored how these "competencies" could be developed and assessed so that they could be used as the basis for transfer evaluation and admission to upper division programs. Appended are: (1) CBT Workgroup Participants; (2) Final Report: Criminal Justice; (3) Final Report: Elementary Education; (4) Final Report: Computer Science; and (5) Substitute House Bill 1909.
