The Monroe County Community College and The University of Toledo College of Business Administration recognize the need and importance of facilitating the transfer of students from one institution to the other as they pursue their educational goals. In an effort to facilitate the transfer process and to promote the closer coordination of academic courses and programs and degrees offered by our institutions, we do hereby enter into the following articulation agreement.

1. A Monroe County Community College student who has successfully completed the requirements of the Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree in a specified transfer program that is described in the attached addendum will be admitted to The University of Toledo College of Business Administration, with the understanding that all established deadlines and procedures have been met, with full junior standing and will be entitled to all rights offered to native junior students at The University of Toledo College of Business Administration. Such rights would include but not be limited to: award and distribution of financial aid, campus housing, priority in registration, selection of courses, and other student services.

2. Students who have completed the Associate of Applied Commerce degree will be admitted to The University of Toledo College of Business Administration and will have their credits evaluated on a course-by-course basis as determined by the attached transfer guide. Courses equivalent to the College of Business Administration junior- and senior-level courses but not listed in the attached guide must complete a validation procedure. This procedure includes three options: proficiency examination; presentation of course credentials for review; or successful completion of advanced course work in the same subject field with a designated grade and permission from the appropriate department chairperson.

3. Students who have successfully completed an Associate of Arts or Associate of Science degree at Monroe County Community College who matriculate to The University of Toledo College of Business Administration under the terms of this agreement shall be considered to have completed the lower division general education/liberal arts requirements established at The University of Toledo College of Business Administration as part of the college's requirements for the Bachelor of Business Administration.*

4. The University of Toledo College of Business Administration cannot guarantee that students who transfer under the provisions of this agreement will complete all the requirements at The University of Toledo College of Business Administration within two years or by earning an additional 64 semester hours at The University of Toledo College of Business Administration.

* In some cases it may be necessary for students to take additional courses so that they have mastered the same topics as native students.

All credits transferred from Monroe County Community College shall be placed into the student's academic program at The University of Toledo College of Business Administration in accordance with the scheme of course classification in effect at The University of Toledo College of Business Administration for native students (i.e. core or general curriculum, major fields, free electives, etc.).

5. Students transferring from Monroe County Community College to The University of Toledo College Business Administration prior to completion of the associate degree will have their credits and courses evaluated on a course-by-course basis as to their acceptability and application to core and/or general education/liberal arts requirements for the Bachelor of Business Administration at The University of Toledo College Business Administration.

6. Upon transfer from Monroe County Community College to The University of Toledo College of Business Administration, the student must comply with the curriculum/program regulations in effect at the time of admission into the Business Administration Program at Monroe County Community College unless a period of more than five years has transpired.

7. Monroe County Community College will designate an official(s) who will be responsible for all aspects of the articulation program at Monroe County Community College. The University of Toledo College of Business Administration will designate individuals responsible for all aspects of this articulation agreement at The University of Toledo College of Business Administration.

The University of Toledo College of Business Administration will provide Monroe County Community College with course equivalent information regarding Monroe County Community College courses and University of Toledo College of Business Administration equivalent courses.

The University of Toledo College of Business Administration and Monroe County Community College will review this agreement every two years in conjunction with The University of Toledo's catalog production schedule and will make adjustments or amendments as deemed appropriate for the improvement of the transfer process and student articulation. It is understood that such changes will not adversely affect students already enrolled and covered under the provisions of the existing agreement.

10. Either party reserves the right to terminate this agreement providing that at least one year's written notice of the proposed termination date is given.

This agreement is effective as of December 1, 1997.
