                and Course Transfer Guides

Introduction

An articulation agreement formally recognizes that the University of Phoenix and College of DuPage are both active educational partners in providing educational opportunities for currently enrolled and potential students of their combined institutions.  Agreement to a partnership requires a commitment by both institutions to facilitate the transfer of associate degree conferred students into a baccalaureate degree program without jeopardizing the intended mission and stated goals of either institution.

Transfer Features and Benefits

1. All credit from associate degrees (AA, AS, AAS, AGS...etc.) awarded by College of DuPage will transfer to the University of Phoenix as a "block", meaning that all associate degree-related courses will automatically transfer.  The maximum of 72 of these transfer credits will apply to the Bachelor of Science in Management (BSM) degree (in States where offered).  A maximum of 60-69 of these transfer credits will apply to the baccalaureate program.)  (Note:  For students transferring without an earned associate degree, all credit from college-level (not remedial or developmental) courses earned with a grade of C- or better will be accepted in transfer.  Depending on the student's major, 60-69 of these transfer credits will apply to the baccalaureate program.)

2. Students from College of DuPage will be guaranteed admission to a bachelor program at the University of Phoenix based on academic requirements as a result of having earned a associate degree, and upon further satisfaction of all other conditions for admission as stated in the University Catalog.  University of Phoenix admission requirements include:      *High school graduation or GED;  *Current employment or access to an organizational environment that will allow completion of program coursework;  * Minimum of 23 years of age.  (Note:  For exceptional younger student under the age of 23, there is an appeal process for admission consideration.)  *The Bachelor of Science in Management (BSM) program (in states where offered) requires the conferral of an associate degree.

3. At the time an associate degreed student enrolls in the last University of Phoenix baccalaureate degree required course, the tuition will be waived if the student has remained in continuous enrollment and is in good academic standing.

4. Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science in Management program (in states where offered), the associate degree focus may be listed as an area of emphasis on the baccalaureate transcript and diploma.

5. Dual application into College of DuPage and the University of Phoenix will allow students who are within 12 months of the completion of their associate degree to pre-apply to a baccalaureate program and have access to the University of Phoenix proficiency assessment system and online library. Continued access to these services following the 12-month period will require students to be enrolled in the University.
