Maricopa Community Colleges (MCCCD) General Education Curriculum 2017-2018 55 Generally, the degree transfers as a block without loss of credit to Arizona's public universities and other institutions with district-wide articulation agreements. In most cases, courses used to satisfy the MCCCD Associate in Business General Requirements will apply to university graduation requirements of the university major for which the ABus GR was designed. Academic Policies that Govern the Associate in Business General Requirements Degree: • Requires 62-63 semester credits in courses numbered 100 and above to be completed with a grade of "C" or better. Credit units transferred from outside of the district need to be at a grade of "C" or better. A grade of "C" equals 2.0 on a 4.0 grading scale or equivalent. On an exception basis, P-grades may be allowed in the AGEC for credit trans- ferred if documentation collected by the community college indicates that the P-grade issued was the only option for the student and the P-grade is a "C" or better. The P-grade exception does not apply to credits awarded by AGEC granting/receiving institutions; • Credit received through prior learning assessment or credit by evaluation is transferable within the Maricopa Com- munity Colleges but is not necessarily transferable to other colleges and universities. No more than 20 semester credit hours may be applied toward AGEC. • Uses the following policies to help students complete the required Core and Awareness Areas in AGEC B without exceeding the 35 semester credits • Courses can satisfy a Core Area and one or two Awareness Areas simultaneously. • A course cannot be used to satisfy more than one Core Area requirement. • Uses the following policies to help students complete the program requirements at a minimum of 62 semester credits but not more than 63 semester credits: • Courses can satisfy multiple areas within the degree simultaneously (AGEC B Core Area, AGEC B Awareness Area, and/or Common Lower Division Program Requirements) • Follows the general education policy below: • General Education Designations (example: (FYC), [SB], [HU], etc.) • Effective Fall 2000 the course evaluation and/or general education designation as listed in the Arizona CEG (Course Equivalency Guide) within AZ Transfer is valid for the term in which the student is awarded credit on the transcript.
