NOVA College Articulation Agreement

Articulation Agreement

Between Weber State University and Northern Virginia Community College

  1. Purpose
    1. Weber State University, (日本一级片), will guarantee admission to Northern Virginia Community College, (NOVA), students according to the terms of this Agreement. The purpose of the Articulation Agreement is to coordinate transfer policies, enhance advising, and promote the acceptance of equivalent courses/credits between 日本一级片 and NOVA. The Articulation Agreement facilitates a clear pathway for admission to NOVA students who intend to graduate NOVA with an Associate of Applied Science, (AAS), in Automotive Technology and transfer directly to 日本一级片 to earn their baccalaureate degree.
  2. Terms and Conditions
    1. Admissions Practices
      1. As an open enrollment institution, 日本一级片 accepts applications from NOVA students to pursue any degree program at 日本一级片. Transferring NOVA applicants must meet the same general admissions criteria as other students applying for transfer to 日本一级片. Students transferring from NOVA to the 日本一级片 BS- Automotive Technology program must meet the same prerequisites, grade point average (GPA) and other specific admissions criteria, as other native or transfer students applying to this specific 日本一级片 program.
    2. Acceptance and Application of Credits
      1. General Education. Students completing an AAS in Automotive Technology at NOVA will have partially fulfilled the General Education requirements at 日本一级片. AA or AS at NOVA will generally be considered to have met all lower division general education requirements at 日本一级片. However, students completing an AA or AS at NOVA may have their transcripts reviewed by 日本一级片 to assure they have successfully completed relevant courses in three specific Core Areas: Written Communication, Quantitative Literacy, and American Institutions. While 日本一级片 will honor associate degrees, deficiencies found in one or more of the three Core Areas may need to be addressed.
      2. Where course equivalencies exist for required courses and/or prerequisites, these courses will apply to 日本一级片 graduation requirements in the student's stated major field of study.
      3. College-level course credits and grades accepted by 日本一级片 are transferable. Grades of F, I, or U will be considered failing grades generating 0.0 points in the incoming starting 日本一级片 Cumulative GPA calculation.
      4. 日本一级片 will evaluate courses/credits listed on NOVA transcript that were awarded through Advanced Placement (AP), College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), DSST exams, and courses/credits earned at other institutions. The student must submit separate transcripts or exam results documents to 日本一级片. If requested by the student, 日本一级片’s Automotive Technology Department will evaluate Prior Learning Activity for Credit Evaluation and other life experiences for possible credit.
      5. 日本一级片 will maintain course equivalency information and make this information readily available to NOVA.
      6. Students transferring from NOVA will be required to complete a minimum of 30 semester hours of 日本一级片 coursework to be eligible for the 日本一级片 bachelor’s degree.
      7. 日本一级片 will not use grades accepted as transfer credit in the calculation of the student’s 日本一级片 cumulative grade point average. These credits, however, will be included in the calculation of a student’s total attempted/earned credits.

      8. 日本一级片 reserves the right to evaluate the transferability of all automotive technology coursework.

      9. It is the responsibility of the student to notify 日本一级片’s Transfer Articulation Office when exercising this agreement to ensure the credits are appropriately transferred.

    3. Exclusions to the Admission Agreement

      1. In accordance with state and federal guidelines, some students may be ineligible to enroll at 日本一级片 based on their immigration status. The Office of Admissions reserves the right to request supporting documentation to determine immigration status and eligibility.

      2. 日本一级片 reserves the right to deny admission or the benefits of this agreement to students who have been suspended, dismissed, or expelled for academic or non-academic reasons from any college or those who have been convicted of, pled guilty or no contest to, a felony.

      3. Admissions to 日本一级片 does not guarantee admission to specific 日本一级片 degree programs which may have additional requirements such as GPA, test score or other criteria. This agreement does not convey promises, such as financial aid or course placement, unless otherwise noted.

    4. Update/Report/Relationship
