Tips for successfully transferring your Maricopa Community College credits to a University

Things you need to know about transfer.

I want to transfer. What do I need to do?

If you know that you will transfer to a university, but you do not

know what your major will be, it’s best to begin with the Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC). AGEC is a 35-semester-credit general education program of study. Completion of the AGEC guarantees you will be admitted to any of the Arizona state public universities. Meet with an academic advisor to determine which AGEC is appropriate for your degree or program.

Atransfer Associate’s degree is designed to maximize your

credits and prepare you for your university major. Upon completion of an Associate, you will enter the university as a junior. Additional advantages for completing an Associate’s degree are: increased income, knowledge, and skills; help to qualify for a job or promotion and tuition discounts and scholarships at Maricopa partner universities.

It’s never too early to begin planning for a smooth transfer

to a university. The longer you wait to make a decision, the more you risk delaying degree completion or loss of credit. Here are some additional tips:• Declare your intent to transfer when

you meet with an advisor.• Select a major as early as possible,

defi nitely by the time you complete 24 credits.• Select courses that are transferable to

your university.• Complete Math, English, and Lab

Science course requirements early.• Take summer courses.• Earn at least 24 credits in your fi rst year.
