Articulation Agreements

Woodmont College students often transfer college credit from other institutions of higher education or from institutions whose courses have been recognized by a college credit recommendation service. Articulation agreements lay out a transfer plan between Woodmont College and the other institutions. They help students by ensuring all completed classes (credits) taken at other institutions transfer smoothly into Woodmont College’s degree requirements and show a clear pathway for continued advancement. Woodmont College has articulation agreements with the most common institutions found on student transcripts. The articulation agreements include a clear table identifying which courses will transfer and which requirement each course will fulfill. Students can review the articulation agreement and choose courses with confidence that credit will transfer.

Why do articulation agreements matter? 

Articulation agreements streamline the transfer process for everyone involved. This helps to alleviate the stress surrounding the application process, the credit transfer process, and several other issues students might encounter when applying to a baccalaureate program.
