Transfer from AWC

We provide resources, guidance, and support to help students transfer from community college to four-year universities. This includes transfer advising, degree planning, articulation agreements, and university partnerships.

Check important deadlines on the university website and keep a calendar so you can stay on track during the transfer process. It is important to start your transfer process up to 9 months before your transfer. 

Not always. Some universities accept students with fewer completed credits, but earning an associate degree can maximize credit transfer and sometimes guarantee admission through transfer pathways.

You can use tools such as the Course Equivalency Guide (CEG) from AZTransfer.com or transfer resources on the university websites. Meet with university representatives to review pathways and transfer resources.  

The AGEC is a block of general education courses that, once completed, guarantees that your lower-division general education requirements are fulfilled at Arizona public universities.

 Yes. You may transfer credits to other in-state community colleges, universities, or out-of-state institutions. Most in-state colleges and universities generally accept transferable general education courses; however, program requirements and transfer policies may vary depending on the institution and degree program.

The Community College CEG displays the equivalencies from one community college to another that have been reverse engineered from the university-to-community college transfer data or Maricopa's Transfer Evaluation System. Referenced from AZTransfer.com

Out-of-state institutions may have different general education curricula and specific program requirements, so transferability is determined through each institution’s official transfer credit evaluation process.
It is recommended that students begin the admissions process early to better understand how their credits will transfer and how those credits apply toward their intended degree program.

We have partnerships with Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, and the University of Arizona, along with other transfer institutions. These partnerships include special transfer pathways, joint advising, and reverse transfer opportunities. Visit our Other Partnership page to learn more.

Yes. Some universities offer concurrent enrollment or 2+2 programs, allowing you to take courses at both institutions and transition smoothly into a bachelor’s program. Learn about the AWC Nursing partnerships for concurrent enrollment with university partners.

Many universities offer transfer scholarships. Our Transfer Center office can connect you to scholarship opportunities and application resources. Visit our Resources page and the AWC Foundation for more information.
