Report on Articulation Agreements; A Progress Report to the Governor and the General Assembly of Virginia. House Document No. 6.
Sartori, Paul H.
This document is a progress report on the status of postsecondary articulation agreements in Virginia. Although final decision on admission still rests with the receiving institution, eleven of the fifteen senior public institutions in Virginia have formal policies regarding community college transfer students which are published for students in handbook or guide form. The remaining four institutions also have written policies and procedures governing transfer admission although these policies are not specifically directed to the Virginia Community College System. Six regional consortia within the state supplement the policies and procedures of their participating members and serve to coordinate interinstitutional matters, including articulation. These consortia guidelines are in turn supplemented by those of the State Council of Higher Education. Articulation in Virginia has, overall, followed the national norm, and in many instances is more advanced than in other states. Although obtaining the Associate degree is recommended by senior institutions to students wishing to transfer, the general policy is to evaluate each course taken to determine its transferability. Two tables of statistics on transfer applications and acceptances are included in the report, and Virginia articulation guidelines and a brief listing of state articulation agreements throughout the nation are appended.
