PURPOSE

ISSUE:

The Course Equivalency Guide (CEG) shows how courses transfer from community college to ASU, NAU and U of A.


GOALS / EXPECTATIONS:

The CEG publishes how courses taken at one school (the "source" institution, typically an Arizona community college) transfer to another school (the "target" institution, ASU, NAU, or UA).


DESCRIPTION

SUMMARY:

The online Course Equivalency Guide tells how courses taken at one school (the "source" institution, typically an Arizona community college) transfer to another school (the "target" institution, ASU, NAU, or UA). The CEG calendar year runs from Summer Session I through Spring Semester, with data going back to 1990. With the exception of direct course equivalencies, the CEG does not indicate how courses will apply to completion of major requirements at the universities. The CEG does not determine how transfer courses may apply to specific baccalaureate degree.
