Four Postsecondary Educational Segments

Multiple Hats Like you, UC A.O.s have varied responsibilities:

– Exploring Majors (ASSIST)– UC Transfer Preparation Paths– Responsibilities vary, may include:

» Transfer programs, TAG, outreach » Honors program coordination» Campus, UCOP & CIAC committees» Develop and provide training» Catalog, web & publication updates» Evaluation, Application Review: FR & TR

Role of University A.O. in the Articulation

Process • Gatekeeper of proposals and CORs sent by CCC

• Primary point of contact for our campus• Liaison with the CCC articulation officers,

counselors, system offices, ACS, and UC faculty

• Facilitate all aspects of the articulation process

• Update & publish articulation agreements on

ASSIST

• Add articulation throughout the year on ASSIST

Page 6: Demystifying UC Articulation Aurelia Long Articulation Office r.

Role of University Faculty in the Articulation Process • Faculty establish requirements and

standards for articulated courses

• Discipline faculty are responsible for the evaluation of CCC course content

• Identification of comparable courses

• Authorization of acceptance

Page 7: Demystifying UC Articulation Aurelia Long Articulation Office r.

UC TCA• Courses are submitted annually to University of

California Office of the President (UCOP) for review/approval

• A course must meet transfer credit criteria per BOARS policy

• Approved CCC courses are listed on the UC TCA

BOARS policy & basic principles for transfer credit criteria:

• The course should be comparable to one offered at the lower division level at any of the UC campuses in scope, level, and prerequisite

• Or, if a course is not comparable to any offered at UC, it must be appropriate for a university degree in terms of its purpose, scope, and depth

Page 8: Demystifying UC Articulation Aurelia Long Articulation Office r.

UC Transferable vs. Articulated

1. A Transferable Course (System-wide)‾ UCOP decides if a course is UC transferable ‾ Accepted at the point of admissions for unit

credit at any UC campus

‾ Approved course is listed on UC TCA

2. An Articulated Course (Campus-specific)‾ Discipline faculty authorize a course for

articulation‾ Accepted in lieu of a university

course/requirement ‾ Listed in the UC campus agreement with the

CCCAll Articulated Courses Must First Be

Transferable. But, Not All Transferable Courses Are Articulated

Page 9: Demystifying UC Articulation Aurelia Long Articulation Office r.

IGETC vs. UC Campus-Specific GE/Breadth

• IGETC and UC campus GE are distinct and separate patterns

• Some IGETC-certified courses may also satisfy UC GE patterns

– UC campus GE patterns are unique

– UC campus practices for seeking campus GE articulation vary

Courses must be UC Transferable to be considered for IGETC or GE evaluation

Page 10: Demystifying UC Articulation Aurelia Long Articulation Office r.

UC Articulations on ASSIST:

Tips, Similarities & Differences Among UCs

• Articulation by Major: All UCs• Articulation by Department: 7 UCs

– Excluding UCI, UCLA• Articulation for GE: 7 UCs– Excluding UCLA, UCSD, UCI (selected CCCs)

• At UCB, and other campuses: course-to-course artic is our basis• With few exceptions, course-to-course

articulation is valid wherever the course is used

CCC to UC Major Articulation• Second level of

articulation between UC and CCC.

• The major articulation agreements offer students guidance in preparing for specific majors at each UC campus.

• Indicates courses that fulfill major prep; alerts if IGETC is acceptable; explains use of AP/IB credit toward subject requirements, etc.

Page 13: Demystifying UC Articulation Aurelia Long Articulation Office r.

AP / IB Articulation• AP/IB score credit is the same across UCs:

– UC transferable units, eligibility, IGETC• AP/IB course-to-course articulation and

satisfaction of requirements vary per UC • Finding UC AP/IB information:

– UC Campus Comparative Reference handout – UCOP Website

Page 14: Demystifying UC Articulation Aurelia Long Articulation Office r.

Best Practices for Submitting UC Articulation

Proposals• ASSIST Next Generation plans a new tracking system• For now, the preferred method for all UCs:

– Submit proposals via email– COR: Web links, word documents, may not be preferred

• Submit proposals grouped by department/discipline– Some UCs specify a max. per submission, e.g., 4-6– Include any explanatory information, e.g., replacing

existing• All UCs, encourage you to check, prior to submission:

– Is the course UC transferable?– Has it already been articulated?– Was it previously requested, and when?

• UC Comparative Reference handout identifies UC preferences

Page 15: Demystifying UC Articulation Aurelia Long Articulation Office r.

Reasons UC Faculty Request Additional

Documentation• Details not found in the COR• No indication of time spent on specific topics

– including lab topics and lab time spent • Missing types of assignments for specific

topics• Criteria for evaluation, especially writing

assignments are unspecified• Subject-specific information lacking in the

course objectives and student learning outcomes

Page 16: Demystifying UC Articulation Aurelia Long Articulation Office r.

Contacting UC Faculty & Academic Departments• Direct all articulation requests & questions

through A.O.s• Contact the UC A.O. first before making

inquires to UC campus faculty/departments• UC A.O.s may work with specific department

liaisons who work with multiple faculty• UC department faculty/staff may not be as

familiar with articulation protocol

Page 17: Demystifying UC Articulation Aurelia Long Articulation Office r.

Annual Publication of UC Agreements

UCs...•publish July through January update major advisories & prerequisites •obtain CCC course additions, deletions and changes from ASSIST program & reports •maintain and manipulate CCC course data when establishing agreements on ASSIST•do not change their side of the agreement within academic year – with rare exception

Page 18: Demystifying UC Articulation Aurelia Long Articulation Office r.

UC Annual Update Reports• UCs provide an annual summary of

updates to majors and curriculum changes through CIAC listserv

• UCB: typically, provides report in August

• Other UCs may have different timelines• Reports may provide new/changes to

curriculum; majors/minors; changes to major prerequisites; and campus updates

• Information useful to CCC A.O.s & counselors

Page 19: Demystifying UC Articulation Aurelia Long Articulation Office r.

Timing / Reminders• Varied A.O. responsibilities impact processing• UC faculty sabbaticals, teaching, research and

travel schedules may affect the time needed to process articulation proposals

• Contact the UC campus A.O. when response time seems unusually extended

• CCC A.O.s get an email from ASSIST when an articulation has been published with the articulation outcome

• If a course is denied, we encourage you to resubmit, if the course is revised

• Let us know! – is this new; re-submission; addition?

Rules of Thumb All articulated courses must first be transferable, but

not all transferable courses are articulated Each UC campus will have separate articulation with

each community college, even when the colleges are in the same school district (exception: San Diego district)

You can't assume that a community college course will be accepted the same way at different UC campuses. For example, UCSD may not use a course the same way that UCB does

Different majors at the same UC campus may apply community college courses differently, e.g., Required vs Recommended

We do not sever articulation within an academic year when students may be disadvantaged by loss of the articulation

We honor the articulation in place at the time the student completed a course

College of Letters & Science

TWO WAYS TO MEET GE ADMISSION REQUIREMENT

1. Community college courses that are applicable to IGETC – see IGETC for UC and CSU in ASSIST

IGETC may not be the best choice depending on the major, i.e., engineering

2. Community colleges courses that are articulated to UCB’S campus-specific GE pattern – see For General Education/Breadth in ASSIST

Refer to the individual articulation agreements for GE requirements of the other colleges & schools
