Transfer Agreement
What is a Transfer Agreement?
Transfer agreements, or articulation agreements, are documents that show a pathway between CWU and higher education institutions with specialized academic, professional, or technical programs. Students benefit using a transfer agreement as they follow a specific course plan or sequence to satisfy degree requirements while still attending a community college. Following a transfer agreement assists in transitioning to CWU and saves students both time and money towards their bachelor's degree.
