• Credit awarded at a Maricopa Community College for prior learning is transferable to the other colleges in the
district but is not necessarily transferable to other colleges and universities. No more than 20 such assessed semester
credit hours may be applied toward AGEC, and no more than 30 credits (including up to 20 toward AGEC) may be
applied toward a degree.
Completion and Transfer:
• Completion of the AGEC with a minimum Grade Point Average of at least 2.0 on a 4.0 scale for Arizona residents
and 2.50 for non-residents meets Arizona public university general admission requirements. It does not ensure
admission to specific university majors or programs with selective admission processes and/or limited enrollment.
• While MCCCD's associate degrees are designed to facilitate a seamless transfer to other Arizona institutions,
courses may be transferable and/or meet associate degree requirements, but may not necessarily meet the specific
requirements of a particular degree, major, or area of emphasis at another institution.
Students planning to transfer to another college or university are urged to refer to university requirements and
academic advisors from both institutions to be certain that all their selected coursework is applicable to the
requirements of their intended transfer degree and within their allowed transferable credit limit. For some majors,
the statewide Common Course matrix and AZTransfer Major Guides at aztransfer.com
and/or university transfer
guides can also provide some guidance. For appropriate course selection, students should consult with an academic
advisor.
