ABOUT THIS DOCUMENT:
The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ is dedicated to making the transfer process as simple as possible. As required by , Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ will take your course work as outlined in the appropriate and enable you to graduate with the same number of hours as native Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ students in the same degree program (assuming you do not change majors). Together, the Transfer Guide and Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Area V Page, if used correctly, will guide you through your first two years of course work and prevent the loss of credit hours upon transfer. If you have obtained a Transfer Guide for a major in Early Childhood Education (P-3), be sure to print this page and use it along with the Guide. Upon transfer, please bring these documents to insure a smooth academic transition.
SPECIAL NOTES:
- This document is not designed to replace or override Areas I-IV of the official STARS Transfer Guide. It simply provides a list of recommended course options for students who are seriously considering a transfer to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ to major in Early Childhood Education (P-3).
- If you are transferring to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ from an institution outside the Alabama Community College System, please contact Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ Office of Admissions for the most up-to-date transfer information.
