3.05 Guaranteed Transfer of Credit Policy

Phillips Community College of the University of Arkansas guarantees that course credit earned at PCCUA will transfer to a four-year college or university. In the event that course credit which has been guaranteed will not transfer, PCCUA will refund tuition paid for that course. The following restrictions, however, apply to the guarantee of transfer credit.

1. Since each college determines individually what courses are acceptable for transfer, the student must know what he or she plans to major in at the receiving institution and must know to which four-year college he or she plans to transfer. The transfer guarantee is valid only for that major at that particular four-year college. If the student changes majors or decides to transfer to another college, the guarantee of transfer credit is no longer binding.
2. The student must see an advisor at least two weeks before registration to select courses which will transfer. The advisor will use transfer agreements on file to determine transferability. (Master Articulation Agreement 11.01) If there is a question of transferability, the advisor will consult the transfer institution.
3. The transfer agreement must be signed by the student, the advisor, and the Director of Advisement. Only those courses listed on the transfer agreement are guaranteed.
4. In the event that a guaranteed course will not transfer, PCCUA will refund tuition for the course not to exceed the per-semester hour tuition in effect at the time the course was taken. The student must provide PCCUA with a written statement from an appropriate official at the transfer institution indicating that the course is not acceptable for transfer into the agreed upon major.
5. Excluded from the transferability guarantee are SOS 102 (Student Orientation), developmental courses which the student may be required to take in order to place into college-level courses, any course in which a grade less than "C" is earned, and any course not specifically listed on the transfer contract.
