This information is displayed for student decision-making in the annual catalog. A university parallel course must be transferable to a state public university with an equivalency of at least elective credit as displayed in the Course Equivalency Guide for the State of Arizona. The College Curriculum Council articulates proposed university parallel courses with a defined university prior to approval. The equivalency is published in the Course Equivalency Guide for the State of Arizona.
Students evaluate transfer courses through the formalized student evaluation process.
Faculty members from thirty-eight disciplines participate on statewide Articulation Task Forces to insure seamless transfer for students. Most students transfer into the Business, Health Professions, Education, and Social and Behavioral Science colleges. Minority status Pima Community College transfer students to UA had a greater chance for GPA success than native UA students in upper division courses. Pima Community College transfer students with the AGEC certificate or the AA have a better chance of graduating within four years that native UA students.
