Every student in an AA or AS program needs to follow the degree plan published by the university they want to attend, the major they want to pursue, and to know which courses to select at CCC as part of their AA or AS program.

While the AAS and AFA programs do not transfer as a whole to the public universities under the CAA, the courses designated as college transfer courses (See Appendix G, Transfer Course List) will transfer, as long as the grade was a "C" or better. True or False

True. See V. Regulations, A.8 of the CAA for more information. If you are an AAS or AFA student and are not completing an AA or AS degree but are planning on transferring, you will want to read this section of the CAA very carefully.

There is a limit on the transfer of courses not originating at NC community colleges. True or False

True. See V. Regulations, A.9 of the CAA. This section is referring to courses taken at schools that are not part of the UNC or NCCCS systems.

There are other transfer choices (completely unrelated to the CAA and pending ICAA) called Bilateral Agreements, 2 + 2 Agreements, and Articulation Agreements. These are agreements CCC has with an individual university in NC to provide another transfer option, usually an AAS program transferring to a university to complete a four-year degree. True or False

True. See the Virtual Transfer Center on the CCC website for details, and your advisor for more information.

There is an Independent Comprehensive Articulation Agreement (ICAA) between many of the NC Independent Colleges and Universities (private universities) and the NC Community College System (NCCCS). True or False

True. The ICAA is very similar to the CAA, but is between the NCCCS and many of (not all) the Independent Colleges and Universities of NC (private schools). See the NCCCS website: Choose Colleges, then College Transfer/Articulation Agreements, then choose Independent Comprehensive Articulation Agreement. You can also go to the Virtual Transfer Center on the CCC website: Click Services for Students, Student Success Center, then choose Virtual Transfer Center, and click Transfer Options with Private Universities in NC, or look under the CCC Resources tab in Blackboard for a link to the Virtual Transfer Center.

Chen Lee's Story.... As Chen Lee began his junior year, he still was unsure which major to choose. He had come to college as an "undeclared major" and that was his official designation - although he thought "clueless major" would be a more accurate label. Chen had thought seriously about several possibilities, including communications and marketing, but none seemed to offer just what he was looking for. Part of the trouble was that he really didn't know what he was looking for. In fact, he was a lot clearer about what he didn't want to major in than what he did want to major in. The clock was ticking away, and he felt lost. His family offered many suggestions, but that just seemed to increase the pressure and now he was getting warnings from the school that he had to make a decision. According to Chen Lee's story.... Which of the following assessments would help Chen Lee learn more about himself to assist him in choosing a career and major? a. Interest Profiler, Work Values Sorter, and Learning Style Inventory b. Interest Profiler, Career Key, Career Cluster Survey c. Interest Profiler, Ability Profiler, Basic Skills Survey d. Transferrable Skills Checklist, Discovery Wheel, Transfer Plan
