ARTICULATION AGREEMENT
BETWEEN ST. PHILIP’S COLLEGE 
AND PARK UNIVERSITY

OVERVIEW:
This formal program articulation agreement is made and entered into by 
Park University, hereinafter referred to as Park, and St. Philip’s College, 
hereinafter referred to as St. Philip’s.  By this agreement St. Philip’s 
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 St. Philip’s students who have earned an Associate 
of Arts or Associate of Applied Science the opportunity to complete a 
Bachelor of Science degree at Park.  Any St. Philip’s student who has 
earned an Associate of Arts or Associate of Applied 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 appropriate Bachelor of 
Science degree in a manner consistent with the treatment of native Park 
students.

CONDITIONS OF TRANSFER:
Section I:  Admissions and Matriculation
St. Philip’s 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.

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

Transfer students from St. Philip’s 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 St. 
Philip’s 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 St. Philip’s to 
be applied to the appropriate Bachelor of Science degree.

Transfer students from St. Philip’s, 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 St. Philip’s 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 proscribed 
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.
