General Information
Articulation Agreements
Articulation agreements are formal, written documents agreed upon by two or more institutions. They provide a value-added component to a traditional transfer program by allowing additional transfer credits, enhancing the number and quality of learning options or by providing unique student-centered options (preferred admission, student support, financial assistance, etc.). The agreements, while maintaining the integrity of the separate programs at both institutions, will include:
-
Program requirements
-
Transfer policies and procedures
-
Admission requirements
-
Advising of LCC students
-
Communication and marketing
-
Length of the agreement
-
Termination provisions
-
Review and modification provisions
Benefits for Students

Transfer Guides
Transfer Guides provide the student with a list of LCC courses that meet specific course requirements at the transfer college/university. A transfer guide will be available for all programs associated with an articulation agreement. Students should meet with an advisor to discuss the specific transfer guide requirements. Transfer guides are also available for programs that are not part of an articulation agreement. See Transfer Guides for additional information.
