U.S. and International Institutions The Maricopa Community Colleges have transfer agreements with accredited U.S. universities and colleges as well as international institutions that have been approved by the Ministry of Education. These partnerships are formalized through District-wide memorandums of understanding and articulation agreements, and are designed to help students maximize the applicability of transfer credit toward a bachelor's degree. To access a list of institutions with which Maricopa has established articulation agreements, visit: https://curriculum.maricopa.edu/transfer-partners/transfer- options/maricopa-university-partner-list. Time Limit for Transfer Coursework Students should be aware other colleges and universities may have age of credit limits on certain coursework to be used in transfer. Students should refer to the policy of their intended transfer institution regarding time limits for transfer coursework. Shared Unique Numbering (SUN) System Course Information Senate Bill 1186, which passed into law in 2010, mandated the creation of a shared numbering system for public college and university courses in Arizona to identify courses that transfer from community colleges to universities toward a baccalaureate degree. The Shared Unique Number (SUN) system is a college course numbering system designed to help students locate and enroll in courses that have direct equivalents for transfer among Arizona's public community colleges and three state universities. However, even if a course at the Maricopa Community Colleges is not designated as a SUN course, it may still transfer to other Arizona public institutions with a direct equivalent as per the course equivalency guide on aztransfer.com. The SUN system does not address the applicability of courses. Students are encouraged to work with an academic advisor on course selections. To access a list of SUN courses, visit www.aztransfer.com/sun. 2.9 Veterans Services The Maricopa Community Colleges' veterans' services offices act as liaisons with the Department of Veterans Affairs and the state approving agency. Each program must be approved by the state approving agency. Students may be eligible to receive educational benefits if they are registered in courses that apply to the student's approved programs. Application forms, counseling, advisement, tutoring, and priority enrollment are available for students who are eligible for veteran's educational benefits. Students applying for veteran's educational benefits should allow eight to ten weeks before receiving benefits. The amount of benefits awarded is determined by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and is based on the number of credit hours or clock hours for which a student is enrolled and the length of the enrollment period for each course. 2.9 Veteran's benefits available: • Chapter 30 – Montgomery GI Bill ® • Chapter 31 – Vocational Rehabilitation (separately served through the local VA office) • Chapter 32 – VEAP Program • Chapter 33 – Post 9/11 GI Bill ® & Transfer of Eligibility to Dependents (TOE) • Chapter 35 – Survivors and dependents of deceased/100% disabled veterans • Chapter 1606 – Montgomery GI Bill ® , Selected Reserve • Chapter 1607 – REAP Reserve Educational Assistance Program
