Welcome, Faculty and Staff
Every higher education institution has someone named as the institution’s Transfer Coordinator. The person may have another working title. This person can be helpful as you consider new agreements (articulation agreements, dual admission agreements etc.). This platform provides information on each institution’s Transfer Coordinator (name or email or both). See All Institutions.
Standing virtual office hours are available to help different transfer platform users:
• Third Thursdays, 2:30 – 3: 30 for advisors or anyone who wants help using the platform – with students, families, faculty, other staff, or just in general. Click here.
• Fourth Mondays, 2:30-3:30 for staff who program information for this transfer platform. Click here.
Please contact us if there is information you would find helpful to add to our site. We want to make certain that we are meeting your needs.
Articulation Agreements
Institutions may have agreements with one or more other institutions to help students move smoothly in transfer. The part of the agreement that shows how courses at one institution line up with those of another (for example, MTH 115 is equivalent to MATH 145) is sometimes referred to as course mapping or the course map. In other words, the course map shows how courses “articulate” to the other institution.
Agreements may be broader than simply the course map and include such things as dual admission or pre-transfer advising. A single agreement could have several course map appendices. See below for links to public institutions’ relevant web pages. You can see that these agreements must be agreed to not only by faculty or staff, but also by the schools’ chief academic officers and usually the presidents.
The Board of Nursing has a statewide articulation agreement:
In this transfer platform, institutions have the option to treat an articulation agreement as a Transfer Program Guide. There are advantages to doing this; for an example, look at Frostburg State University’s program transfer guide list.
