Articulation Agreements
General Education Agreement
State Board of Education Regulation 6A-10.024 stipulates that after a public university or community college in Florida has published its general education core curriculum, the integrity of that curriculum shall be recognized by the other public universities and community colleges. Once a student has been certified by St. Petersburg College on the official transcript as having completed satisfactorily the prescribed general education core curriculum, regardless of whether the associate degree is conferred, no other state university or community college in Florida to which he or she may transfer shall require any further such general education courses.
If articulation problems should occur, students should contact the community college articulation officer at the state university they are attending or contact the associate provost on their home campus at St. Petersburg College.
Transfer Agreement
Florida law provides that “every associate in arts graduate of a Florida community college must be granted admission to an upper division program offered by a state university institution except to: a limited access program; a teacher certification program; or a major program requiring an audition or portfolio.” After admission has been granted to A.A. graduates as specified above and to state university system students who have successfully completed 60 credit hours of course work (and met the requirements of Section 240.107 F. S.), admission shall then be granted to other state university system students who have not completed 60 credit hours and Florida community college students who have successfully completed 60 credit hours but who have not been granted an AA degree. The law further gives priority for admission to a state university to community college associate in arts graduates over out-of-state students.
Since August 2000, all graduates of an associate in science degree program listed in the Statewide Articulation Manual is granted admission into a corresponding baccalaureate program at the state universities, except for limited access programs and those requiring specific grades on particular courses for admission.
