University Partnerships

Along with the articulation agreements below, Wayne Community College has established agreements and pathways with specific four-year institutions that will benefit Wayne Community College students.

Articulation Agreements

Articulation agreements document a pathway between two or more colleges or universities and their academic programs. Various audiences also call articulation agreements transfer agreements, transfer guides, and transfer pathways.

The North Carolina Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (CAA) addresses the admission of community college graduates to UNC institutions and the transfer of credits between institutions within the NC Community College System and the institutions within The University of North Carolina. The CAA provides certain assurances to the transferring student for example:

• Assures admission to one of the 16 UNC institutions (Transfer Assured Admissions Policy)
• Enables NC community college graduates of two-year Associate in Arts and Associate in Science degree programs who are admitted to constituent institutions of the University of NC to transfer with junior status.
• Additional statewide agreements

Articulation agreements simplify the complexity of determining what courses to take. They eliminate the guesswork regarding transferability. Aside from the CAA, the following articulation agreements have been created to benefit the students at Wayne Community College:
