Common Course Numbering

Wyoming Community Colleges and the University of Wyoming have created and implemented initiatives, like the common numbering system, for the smoother articulation of courses between the community colleges and University of Wyoming. This enhanced articulation allows community college transfer students to maximize the courses they take while at the community college. Some faculty have taken steps to standardize course content between the University of Wyoming and Wyoming community colleges by establishing a common syllabus for certain entry level courses.

Dual Enrollment

Sinclair Community College and University of Dayton have a generous dual enrollment program. When community college manufacturing technology students are accepted into the dual enrollment program, they receive University of Dayton identification cards that give them access to the university's library and athletic facilities.

Articulation Agreement

Alabama's Articulation Program is better know as STARS (Statewide Transfer & Articulation Reporting System). STARS is a web-accessible database system which provides guidance and direction for prospective transfer students in the State of Alabama. The STARS System allows public two-year students in Alabama to obtain a Transfer Guide/Agreement for the major of their choice. This guide/agreement, if used correctly, guides the student through their first two years of coursework and prevents loss of credit hours upon transfer to the appropriate public four-year university in Alabama. Since Fall of 1998, over 220,000 students have viewed or obtained a transfer guide through the STARS System. Visit http://stars.troyst.edu.
