Any WJC student who has earned an Associate of Science in Business/Management 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, Management degree in a manner consistent with the treatment of native Park students.

Transfer students from WJC 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.

Transfer students from WJC, upon acceptance into the appropriate program at Park, will have junior standing at Park.
