ARTICULATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN CLARK STATE COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND PARK UNIVERSITY OVERVIEW: This formal program articulation agreement is made and entered into by Park University, hereinafter referred to as Park, and Clark State Community College, hereinafter referred to as CSCC. By this agreement CSCC and Park express a shared commitment to increasing opportunities for student access to and success in higher education. By clarifying transfer policies and procedures, which assure articulation between programs, the institutions seek to assist students in making a seamless transfer from the associate to the baccalaureate degree. PURPOSE: This agreement provides students who have earned an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree the opportunity to complete Bachelor of Science at Park. Any CSCC student who has earned an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree and adheres to the guidelines within this agreement is guaranteed that Park will accept designated freshman and sophomore education credits and all general education credits and will apply such to the Bachelor of Science degree in a manner consistent with the treatment of native Park students. CONDITIONS OF TRANSFER: Section I: Admissions and Matriculation CSCC students maintaining continuous enrollment under this agreement will be afforded the same treatment and protection as native Park students enrolled under a specific catalog. Criteria for acceptance into Park will be the same for transfer as for native students. CSCC, upon request of students, will provide verification of completed courses to Park through its Office of Admissions and Records. The transcript of students transferring from CSCC will be evaluated by the Registrar’s Office at Park. Transfer students from CSCC will have access to financial aid, scholarships, and student services on the same basis as native students. Minimum grade of “C” in all courses must be maintained to qualify for transfer under this articulation agreement. Completion of the residency requirement: 30 hours of earned and graded college hours at Park. At least 12 of these 30 hours must be in the major core. Park will apply the same academic progress and graduation standards to CSCC transfer students as those applicable to native students at Park. Section II: Transfer of Credit A maximum of 75 semester hours will be accepted by Park from CSCC to be applied to the appropriate degree. Transfer students from CSCC, upon acceptance into the appropriate program at Park, will have junior standing at Park. Section III: Program Plan While a course-by-course equivalence was used in the development of this plan, this agreement presumes that the general education core requirements at CSCC meet all freshmen and sophomore level university studies requirements of Park. Students falling under this program articulation agreement will be responsible for successfully completing the prescribed requirements. (See attached curriculum plans) TERMS of AGREEMENT: This agreement is made and entered into in the academic year 2004-2005 and remains in force unless changed in writing by mutual agreement to both parties. The agreement may be amended at any time with the approval of both parties and is subject to regular review to assure currency with the respective degree requirements. Should either party desire to discontinue this agreement, advance notification of two years will be required.
