Articulation is the process whereby a course (or set of courses) offered at one institution is accepted as equivalent to or in lieu of a comparable course (or set of courses) at another institution. Students who intend to transfer are advised to consult with a counselor for information regarding requirements for specific majors and transfer institutions.
Articulation Agreements
Articulation Agreements are formal agreements between two institutions that guarantee reciprocal transfer of courses.
