A.A. Transfer Evaluation
This tool from FACTS.org allows students to see exactly what courses they need to take and GPA they must achieve to transfer successfully to the university and program of their choice. The AA Transfer Evaluation contains three sections: the Transfer Program Admission Information, the College Lower Division Evaluation and the University Upper Division Evaluation.

Articulation
The process by which one institution matches its courses or requirements to course work completed at another institution. Students use course articulation to assure that the courses they complete will not have to be repeated at the institution to which they are transferring.

The audit is mandatory for students with 30+ credit hours and recommended for students anticipating graduation.
Elective
A term used for an academic course chosen by the student from a set of options, as opposed to a required course. While required courses (sometimes called core or degree specific courses) are deemed essential for an academic degree, elective courses tend to be more specialized.
