ARTICULATION AGREEMENT
BETWEEN EDISON 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 Edison Community 
College, hereinafter referred to as ECC.  By this agreement ECC 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 the opportunity to complete a Bachelor of Science at 
Park.  Any ECC student who has earned an Associate of Arts or Associate 
of Science 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 in a manner consistent with the treatment of native Park students.

CONDITIONS OF TRANSFER:
Section I:  Admissions and Matriculation
ECC 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.

ECC, 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 ECC will be evaluated by the Registrar’s Office 
at Park.

Transfer students from ECC 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: 24 hours of earned and graded college hours at Park.  At 
least 12 of these 24 hours must be in the major core.  

Park will apply the same academic progress and graduation standards to 
ECC transfer students as those applicable to native students at Park.

Section II:  Transfer of Credit
A maximum of 75 credit hours will be accepted by Park from PCC to be 
applied to the Bachelor of Science.

Transfer students from ECC, upon acceptance into 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 ECC meet all freshman and sophomore level university studies requirements 
of Park.  Students falling under this program articulation agreement will 
be responsible for successfully completing the following requirements.

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.
