IMPORTANT NOTES:
- This statewide transfer articulation agreement in Chemistry does not fulfill requirements for the gtPathways general education curriculum or the Associate of Science degree prior to transfer; however, this agreement does guarantee a student, if admitted, junior standing and completion of the baccalaureate degree within an additional 60 semester hours at the receiving institution.
- Students wanting to earn the AS-Chemistry degree must complete the 60 credits as outlined in this agreement, transfer to the four-year institution, then complete one gtPathways-approved course in Arts & Humanities (AH1, AH2, AH3, or AH4) and one gtPathways-approved course in Social & Behavioral Sciences (SS1, SS2, SS3) at the four-year institution within the first 30 credit hours or 12 calendar months.
- Upon completion of the six additional gtPathways credits in Arts & Humanities and Social & Behavioral Science at the four-year institution (as described in Note 2 above), the student can transfer the credits back to Arapahoe Community College. If the student has completed the 60 credits as outlined above, along with the additional six additional gtPathways credits in Arts & Humanities and Social & Behavioral Science, they will then have completed the required credits of the gtPathways general education curriculum and would be eligible to earn their Associate of Science degree with a Chemistry designation.
- To transfer credits to ACC, a student must order an official transcript and have it sent from the issuing institution directly to ACC; transcripts issued to the student and / or hand-delivered by the student are not considered official and will not be utilized for evaluation of transfer credits. Official Transcripts must be sent to: ACC – Admissions & Records, 5900 S. Santa Fe Drive, Littleton, CO 80160.
- All courses required for this degree must be completed with a "C" or better to be considered for transfer to another Colorado institution. Transferability of courses to colleges or universities outside of Colorado is determined by the receiving institution.
