College Transfer Guarantee

State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.024

Students who graduate from the Florida College System with an AA degree are guaranteed the following rights under the Statewide Articulation Agreement:

  • Admission to the upper division of a Florida State University System Institution; note, that limited access programs require a separate admissions process.
  • Adherence to the State University requirements and policies, based on the catalog in effect at the time the student first enters a State College, provided the student maintains continuous enrollment.
  • Transfer of equivalent courses under the Statewide Course Numbering System (SCNS).
  • Acceptance by the State University of credits earned in accelerated programs (e.g., CLEP, AP, Dual Enrollment, Early Admission, International Baccalaureate and AICE).
  • No additional General Education Core requirements. After a State University or State College has published its general education core curriculum, the integrity of that curriculum shall be recognized by the other public post-secondary institutions. Once a student has been certified by such an institution on the official transcript as having completed satisfactorily its prescribed general education core curriculum, regardless of whether the associate degree is conferred, no other public post-secondary institution to which he or she may transfer shall require any further such general education courses.
  • Advance knowledge of selection criteria for limited access programs.
  • Equal opportunity with native university students to enter limited access programs.
