Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do to ensure a successful transfer?
ANSWSER:
It's never too early to begin planning for a smooth transfer to another institution. Your decisions and commitment to a specific program and institution directly impact the success of transferring credits. The longer you wait to make a decision, the more you risk delaying degree completion. We recommend the following:
• By the time you have earned 6 credits - declare your intent to transfer.
• By the time you have earned 24 credits - declare your major and institution.
In addition to academic advising, we recommend using the following transfer resources throughout your community college experience.
• The Arizona Course Applicability System (CAS) provides information on courses, course equivalencies and program requirements. If you choose to become a "CAS Member," CAS provides information on how specific coursework will transfer and apply towards a degree at another CAS university.
• The online Course Equivalency Guide (CEG) shows how coursework is accepted at Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizona.
• The online University Transfer Guides provide information for Arizona community college students about the courses they can take at the community college that will transfer to satisfy degree requirements for a particular institution 's baccalaureate degree.
•Transfer Ombudspersons are community college and public university representatives who assist with any transfer difficulties and are generally located at your college's advisement/transfer center.
• The Maricopa Catalog lists general education and program requirements. Contact a Maricopa Community College to obtain a catalog, or to access one online.
