ARTICULATION
AGREEMENT
Baltimore City Community College (hereafter referred to as BCCC), a
community college in Baltimore City, Maryland, and Sojourner-Douglass College
(hereafter referred to as SDC), a private college in Baltimore, Maryland agree to offer
articulated programs leading to the award of a Bachelor of Arts and/ or Bachelors of
Science Degree.
PURPOSE OF AGREEMENT
This agreement is entered into in the interests of our students. The general
purpose of this agreement is to make clear the terms of the articulation agreement. This
agreement will allow for the efficient transfer of students between campuses, including
transfer credit, admissions and financial aid/scholarship. It will provide opportunities for
students beyond the classroom, serving as a basis for student involvement and faculty
interaction. It will set expectations for administrators, faculty and staff at both
institutions, and foster a working relationship between the parties. Finally, it will
encourage students to continue their education for their own personal and professional
development.
ADMINISTRATIVE
PRINCIPLES
The following general principles guide the operation of this Agreement:
1. The program is designed for graduates of the associate degree in Allied
Human Services; Arts and Science; Biotechnology; Business
Administration; Law Enforcement and Correctional Administration;
General studies; and Office Technology at BCCC. A maximum of 70
credit hours from BCCC will be allowed towards fulfillment of the one
hundred thirty-six (136) credit hours required for baccalaureate
completion.
2. In accordance with the code of Maryland Regulation, all courses meeting
general education requirements at BCCC will transfer to SDC as general
education. Other general education requirements will be met by using
required or elective courses at SDC as noted in this agreement.
3. The maximum number of credits that will accepted by SDC toward degree
requirements from non-direct classroom instruction (including CLEP, AP,
other nationally recognized standardized examination scores and other
four-year institutions) is 30 credits. If the course is evaluated by BCCC
and applied to the associate's degree, SDC will accept the course
automatically as a transfer course. If the credit is not on the BCCC
transcript, the student may submit the score report to be evaluated by SDC
and credit will be applied as determined by SDC's evaluation. Credit
awarded for experiential learning ("life experience") if awarded by BCCC
is recognized by, and is transferable to, SOC. It is possible that not all
transferable credit accepted by SDC will be applicable to the degree.
4. Courses completed at another community college will count towards the
total credits transferred into SOC. Official transcripts from all previously
attended institutions will also be required.
5. Once the associate's degree is completed and the student has been
admitted to SDC, the student will be instructed to contact the appointed
academic advisor and register for classes.
6. While BCCC and SDC do not presently have a dual admissions program,
should one be agreed to, this agreement will not preclude students from
participation and students may apply for and receive the benefits of dualadmission.
7. Students may complete the SDC curriculum part-time or full-time, online
or face-to-face, or in any combination thereof.
8. This articulation agreement becomes effective on the date set forth on the
first page of this document. This agreement will be reviewed biennially,
and appropriately marked as such.
9. BCCC will provide potential student directory information, as defined in
FERP A, to SDC for matters of recruitment, marketing and data
management. SDC does not include address, phone or e-mail as directory
information. Educational records maintained by each institution are
subject to the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERP A), and the
regulations promulgated under it.
10. BCCC and SDC agree to monitor the performance of this agreement and
to revise it as necessary.
11. The agreement may be terminated by either party after adequate notice,
defined as one semester or 6 months, at which time appropriate measures
will be put into place regarding the continued transfer of students.
12. The office of record for program articulation agreements at SojournerDouglass College is the Office of the Registrar. The office of record at
Baltimore City Community College is the office of Articulation and
Partnerships.
For admission to SOC, the following apply:
I. Students must maintain a 2.0 grade point average in order to transfer at the
56-credit level or higher. Should students choose to transfer prior to
completion of their associate's degree, they will be responsible for
meeting admissions eligibility requirements.
2. In order to be eligible for admission, students must comply with all SOC
admissions requirements, including posted deadlines and appropriate
documentation.
3. Should this articulation agreement concern a program with additional
admissions requirements or prerequisite coursework, students must have
met all standards prior to enrollment at Soc.
4. Students who have satisfied the requirements of the articulation agreement
will be given every consideration for financial assistance and will be
eligible to compete for academic scholarships at SOC
APPENDICIES
1. Course-by course articulations, including satisfaction of general education
requirements at both BCCC and SOC.
2. Upper division requirements, to be completed at SOC.
These appendices can be changed on a routine basis, by mutual agreement, without the
procedural process review or revision of the entire articulation agreement.
