Academic Alliances

Community College Articulation Partnership

    Universal Articulation is an ASU Academic Alliances partnership model to support the Universal Learner.

    We have expanded on the traditional Articulation Agreement by creating a Universal Articulation through which transfer courses are evaluated to minimize loss of credit through transfer and both institutions support student success through seamless transfer. Students will have access to 400+ transfer pathways into ASU.

    What is Universal Articulation?

    Universal Articulation at Arizona State University gives students attending partnering community colleges awareness of ASU's transfer tools, in order to help create a seamless transition to ASU and enable students to successfully complete their bachelor’s degree.

    The ASU transfer tools are available to students and staff that support them. Diverse MyPath2ASU™ degree options can be tailored based on partner community college needs (within ASU degree requirements).

    Through the Universal Articulation MOU both institutions agree to support academic preparedness and a seamless transfer experience with MyPath2ASU. ASU will develop pathways through course by course evaluation, partnership marketing deliverables and engage with community college partners to share pathway data, and in the future, engage partners on digital reverse transfer (dependent on ASU and the partnering institution technology capabilities).

    Why partner with Academic Alliances?

    With over 28,000 + students on pathways to ASU, it’s our priority to provide students with an end-to-end connected pathway experience that will enable academic preparedness, college completion and career readiness. By partnering with Academic Alliances through our Universal Articulation Agreement (MOU), we will work collaboratively to: 

    All at no cost to students or partners!

    Partnership is outlined by three distinct tiers of engagement and integration. Upon execution of a Universal Articulation Agreement, partners start at the Universal Level which recognizes the importance of pathways for students and cements our mutual agreement to continually work towards increased success outcomes for transfer students. Upon continued engagement with our articulation team on curriculum and our operations team on integration of tools and resources, partners will matriculate to and through the Maroon and Gold Level tiers of partnership to unlock additional benefits (for students and staff) and deeper collaboration.
