Degree Requirements:	Competency Based Education Western Governors University grants degrees and certificates based on the demonstration of competencies. Competencies for every degree and certificate are developed by national panels of experts in the field. The competencies represent the knowledge and skills considered essential for effective performance as a graduate of the particular degree or certificate program.
Institution Statements:	Note for Transcripts Prior To October 2004 Prior to October 2004 Western Governors University was a non-term institution for Federal Financial Aid Title IV purposes. All courses of study completed prior to October 2004 do not carry a term designation since the courses of study and terms were non-standard in length.
Definition of Symbols:	Pass: Certifies successful completion of a course of study. The student has demonstrated the required competencies by passing the final assessment with a grade equivalent of B or better or 3.00 grade points on a 4.00 scale. Not Passed: Indicates that a student failed to complete a course of study in the time allotted. To meet program requirements, the student generally re-enrolls for the course of study in a subsequent term. Transfer: Signifies that the student has completed equivalent work at another regionally or nationally accredited institution. The University does not calculate a grade point average (GPA). Requirement Satisfied: Recognizes that a student has satisfied the requirements of a course of study through alternate coursework that may not be directly transferred.
