This agreement governs the transfer of students from Florida public community colleges into the state university system and specifically addresses admission to the university and admission to specific programs within the university. The articulation agreement designates the Associate in Arts degree as the transfer degree. In doing so, the agreement specifically guarantees that: 1. The degree holder will be granted admission to one of the state universities. 2. The graduate will be awarded at least 60 credit hours toward the baccalaureate degree. 3. Once a student has completed the general education requirement and it is noted on his transcript (regardless of whether an Associate in Arts degree is awarded), no state university or community college to which the student may transfer can require additional courses to the general education core. 4. When transferring among institutions participating in the statewide course numbering system, an institution must accept all courses taken at the transfer institution, if the same course with the same course number is offered at the receiving institution. 5. Credits earned through acceleration mechanisms (CLEP, dual enrollment, etc.) within the associate in arts degree will be transferable to the state university system. Students seeking admission to a state university without the Associate in Arts degree are not protected by the articulation agreement and may be denied admission or lose credit hours when transferring. In most cases these students must meet freshman admission requirements. Additional transfer agreements exist between SJRCC and universities for several Associate in Science degree programs. Students seeking admission to those programs are protected under the articulation agreements.
