Process for Developing Articulation Agreements
1. Make request to Office of Community College Relations
- Request entered in articulation database
- File established for agreement
2. Establish interest and priority
-
Request is discussed with departments at EMU and community college
-
Priority is determined based on criteria such as potential number of
students and benefits of using an agreement as opposed to a transfer guide. - If interest is expressed by
both institutions, a draft agreement is
written.
3. Create draft agreement
-
First draft is reviewed by EMU faculty and faculty/staff
at the community college (may be done by email or a meeting may be held) -
Subsequent drafts are revised and reviewed until parties at both
institutions reach agreement (usually through email)
4. Conduct additional reviews
- Draft is reviewed by Academic Programming Office
- Draft is reviewed by the Registrar's Office
- Any requested changes will be reviewed again by the department at EMU and the community college.
5. Sign documents
- Documents are prepared for signing (usually four copies- two for each institution)
- Documents are signed at EMU
and then sent to the community
college for signing (occassionally a signing event may be held)
6. Distribute copies of araticulation agreement and guides
-
Copies are made and sent to all relevant parties including the dean, department head, program coordinator, Admission Office, Advising Center, Records & Registration, and Continuing Education.
- Advisors receive copies of the articulation
guide for their notebooks.
(advising center, college advisors, transfer services, etc.) - The articulation guide is posted to the CCR webpage.
