An Articulation Agreement is a formal arrangement between two educational institutions, typically a community college and a university. This agreement outlines how specific courses or programs from one institution can transfer and be recognized for credit at the other. It helps students understand which classes they need to take to ensure a smooth transition from one level of education to another. These agreements are designed to facilitate the transfer process, making it easier for students to continue their education without losing credits. By providing clear pathways, articulation agreements support students in achieving their academic goals while minimizing time and financial costs associated with redundant coursework.
