Change in General Chemistry Articulations Effective Fall 2007After careful review of existing articulations of general chemistry courses at the Oregon community colleges, Oregon State University has decided to implement the following change effective fall 2007:
Chemistry at the 100 level (CH 104, 105, 106 or CH 121, 122, 123) will no longer be equivalent to CH 121, 122, 123 at OSU with the following exceptions:
CH 121, 122, 123 at Chemeketa, Linn-Benton, and Treasure Valley Community Colleges will still be equivalent to CH 121, 122, 123 at OSU.
These changes are being made because the topics and level of coverage in the 100-level sequences do not match the CH 121, 122, 123 sequence at OSU. The CH 104-106 sequence typically is based on a general/organic/biochemistry (GOB) textbook rather than a traditional general chemistry textbook.
The above 100-level courses do transfer to OSU as lower-division chemistry (CH LDT) credits and will fulfill the OSU baccalaureate core requirement for physical science courses.
A 100-level, one-year chemistry courses sequence from a community college that does not articulate to OSU as CH 121, 122, 123,
- is not allowed as a prerequisite for organic chemistry at OSU (CH 331 or CH 336)
- does not fulfill the OSU chemistry minor requirement of one year of general chemistry
- usually will not fulfill the requirements for a major that requires a one-year general chemistry sequence.
Students should contact the academic advisor in their major field of study at OSU if they have any questions about this new policy and what will be accepted. General questions can be directed to Dr. James Ingle, Department of Chemistry, at 541-737-6743 or james.ingle@oregonstate.edu.

Footnotes:
CH LDT* indicates that one or more of the courses in the sequence transfer with no equivalent OSU number. These courses transfer as lower-division transfer (LDT) chemistry (CH) credits with the course title and credits being the same as the original community college course. These courses will still fulfill the OSU baccalaureate core requirement for physical science courses.
b The articulation for organic chemistry is only valid if the entire sequence is taken at the community college and transferred because there is not a direct correspondence between individual courses. If only CH 241 is taken at the CC and transferred, a student must start with CH 331 at OSU. If only CH 241 and 242 are transferred, a student must still take CH 332 and CH 337 to complete the non-majors organic sequence at OSU.
