MEMORANDUM
TO: Presidents
Chief Academic Officers
Chief Student Development Administrators
FROM: Sharon Morrissey
NCCCS Executive Vice President for Programs
and Chief Academic Officer
SUBJECT: 2014 Comprehensive Articulation Agreement
At a joint meeting held on February 21, 2014, the State Board of Community Colleges and
the UNC Board of Governors approved the 2014 Comprehensive Articulation Agreement,
including revisions to the Associate in Arts and Associate in Science curriculum standards and
changes in the Transfer Course List.
The 2014 CAA includes four key policy changes:
Universities have agreed to a list of Universal General Education Transfer Courses that
are guaranteed to transfer for general education equivalency credit to each of the 16
constituent institutions.
Universities will publish four-year degree plans and crosswalk lower division courses
with the NC Community College System Combined Course Library to provide pathways
leading to completion of the associate’s degree, admission to the major, and completion
of the baccalaureate degree.
NC Community College System college transfer students will select a transfer major and
preferred transfer university before completing 30 semester hours of credit. Additional
general education, pre-major and elective courses will be selected based on a student’s
intended major and transfer institution.
Completion of the college transfer degree guarantees completion of undergraduate
general education and pre-major courses and transfer of 60 semester hours of college
credit, if the student is admitted into the transfer institution and major.
