Ensuring that courses from other institutions can be applied toward a UA degree is one of the greatest concerns of transfer students. The UA provides multiple resources to assist both students who are transferring from other institutions and current students who wish to take classes at other schools as they make their course selections.

OFFICE OF TRANSFER CREDIT & ARTICULATION

Students who have questions or concerns about their transfer credit can visit the Office of Transfer Credit & Articulation, located on the ground floor of the Beal Building on a walk-in basis from 8:30am to 4:30pm Monday through Friday.

AZTRANSFER.COM

AZTransfer.com is a statewide collaborative project to help students navigate their higher education options in the State of Arizona. Information and resources on AZTransfer.com represent each of Arizona's public and tribal community colleges and university. Students can find which  transferable courses can be applied to different majors. This site should be used in consultation with a UA academic advisor.

ARIZONA GENERAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM (AGEC)

All Arizona community colleges allow students to complete an AGEC, which is a cluster of courses that is guaranteed to fulfill the general education requirements at any of the three public Arizona universities. Prospective transfer students should speak with a UA academic advisor prior to completing an AGEC in order to ensure that this is the best pathway for their intended major. Students attending Pima Community College (PCC)  and Maricopa Community Colleges (MCC) may refer to a guide outlining courses that fulfill general education requirements in the AZ General Education Curriculum Guide.
