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
Save money on tuition, fees, and books
Accelerate academic progress
Reduce duplication of courses, credits
Provide additional educational enhancements
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.
