Articulation Program

There are several types of articulation agreements that benefit Seminole State students. Agreements exist between the College and local school districts, as well as between the College and bachelor's degree-granting institutions. Seminole State also articulates free college credit for students who have industry-recognized certifications in designated areas that are related to programs of study offered by the College.

Florida Statute 1007.23 and State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.024 assure certain rights to Associate in Arts (A.A.) graduates and authorize several provisions for articulation from an Associate in Science (A.S.) to a baccalaureate degree.

The Florida Community College System was renamed Florida College System in the 2009 legislative session.  An A.A. degree from an institution in the Florida College System guarantees admission to an upper-division institution in Florida's State University System (SUS); it does not guarantee acceptance to a particular university or a selected, special or limited-access program. A.A. degree recipients compete for admission into these programs on the same basis as students already enrolled at these institutions. A.A. graduates also benefit from an articulation agreement the State Board of Education signed with the Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF). For more information on ICUF schools, visit www.icuf.org.

All A.S. degree programs also articulate into the University of Central Florida Bachelor of Applied Science Program, which is offered at UCF's regional campus on Seminole State's Sanford/Lake Mary Campus.

Statewide articulation agreements also exist to award credit for completion of specified postsecondary adult vocational programs as well as for specified industry certifications. Seminole State has articulation agreements with individual institutions located both instate and out-of-state.  Agreements are also in place with technical centers in the Central Florida region.  For more information, visit www.seminolestate.edu/articulation. Since Seminole State is regionally accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, many courses should transfer to colleges and universities across the United States.
