General Information Student Records Student Financial Aid Adult Basic Education/GED Athletic Programs Compliance Annual Security Report Kirkwood Community College Home Page Accreditation and Licensure Academic Programs Articulation Agreement Copyright Information Faculty Facilities Withdrawal from Kirkwood Facilities and Services for Students with Disabilities Credits Earned through Study Abroad Transfer in Iowa Web Portal Available Each year, thousands of students transfer from Iowa community colleges to one of the state’s three public universities. Transferring from one college to the next can be a big step, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. The website contains resources helpful in educational planning as well as information for students to discuss with their counselor/adviser(s). The number one question transfer students ask is “How will my credits transfer?” By following the links on the website, students can learn about how their community college courses transfer to each of the three state public universities. The website contains resources explaining statewide articulation agreements and individual program-to-program articulation agreements by community college. These resources are useful for students planning to transfer as well as counselors and advisors. In addition to online resources, it’s always a good idea for students to discuss their plans with both a community college and university counselor/adviser. |
