The Evergreen State College Summary
The Evergreen State College is an accredited public liberal arts college and is a member of the Council of Public Liberal Arts Colleges. Begun as an experimental and non-traditional college, its academic offerings have become generally more traditional over time, but faculty still issue narrative evaluations of students’ work rather than grades, and Evergreen still organizes most studies into largely interdisciplinary classes titled “Coordinated Studies Programs,” which generally constitute a full-time course load. Author and former New York Times education editor Loren Pope cites Evergreen as one of two public colleges in the United States in his book “Colleges That Change Lives.” The Evergreen State College offers the degrees of Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Arts and Bachelor of Science, Master of Environmental Studies, Master of Public Administration, and Master in Teaching. The Evergreen State College has a large influence on the culture and economy of the growing city of Olympia. In 1964, a report was issued by the Council of Presidents of Washington state baccalaureate institutions, stating that another college was needed in the state to balance the geographical distribution of the existing state institutions. This report spurred the 1965 Washington legislature to create the Temporary Advisory Council on Public Higher Education to study the need and possible location for a new state college. Evergreen’s enabling legislation – HB 596 (Chapter 47, Laws of 1967) – stated that the campus should be no smaller than 600 acres (2.4 km²), making it then the largest campus in the state as well as the first public four-year college created in Washington in the 20th century. On January 24, 1968, The Evergreen State College was selected from 31 choices as the name of the new institution.

I am attempting to pull my transcript. I attended Evergreen State College in 1982 and 1983. Is there a way that I can pull an unoffical transcript online? Also, what are the requirements for taking distance learning course's from Evergreen. I would love to complete my degree.
