Articulation Agreements, Course Articulation, and Transfer Resources

     



How to create an articulation agreement

Articulation agreements are formal partnerships between two colleges or universities documenting that a program or series of classes completed at one institution will be accepted to satisfy particular requirements at the other institution. These agreements create seamless pathways for students transferring between postsecondary institutions.

If you would like to begin the process of developing an articulation agreement between your academic program and an academic program at another institution, or if you would like to revise an existing agreement, please complete the form using this link. This will begin a process that contains curriculum worksheets and will assist you through the formation of the agreement including digital signatures.
 



How to articulate individual courses

If there is an individual course from another college or university that your academic department would like to accept as an equivalent to a UNI course, please contact the Office of Admissions transfer team at transfer@uni.edu for assistance in updating the equivalency information in the student information system.
 



Existing transfer resources



The University of Northern Iowa endorses the Joint Statement on Transfer and Award of Academic Credit approved by the American Council on Education (ACE) and the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admission Officers (AACRAO). The current issue of Transfer Credit Practices of Selected Educational Institutions, published by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, and publications of the American Council on Education are examples of references used by the university in determining transfer credit.
