15-1824. Transfer articulation; course
numbering; reports


A. The community college districts and universities shall cooperate in operating a
statewide articulation and transfer system, including the process for transfer of lower
division general education credits, general elective credits and curriculum requirements
for approved majors, to facilitate the transfer of community college students to Arizona
public universities without a loss of credit toward a baccalaureate degree and to ensure
that the postsecondary education needs of students statewide are met without unnecessary
duplication of programs.


B. The community college districts and the universities under the jurisdiction of
the Arizona board of regents shall develop and implement a shared numbering system which
identifies courses that transfer from community colleges to Arizona public universities
toward a baccalaureate degree.


C. The Arizona board of regents and the community college districts shall submit an
annual report of their progress on both articulation and meeting statewide postsecondary
education needs to the joint legislative budget committee on or before December 15 and
shall provide a copy of this report to the secretary of state.
