(MAPP)

If you have decided on a major and plan to transfer to ASU to earn a bachelor’s degree, then the MaricopaASU Pathways Program (MAPP) might be an excellent option for you.

This program includes the specific coursework that allows students attending one of the Maricopa Community Colleges to transfer to ASU without loss of credit. Along the pathway, you will earn an Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) certificate and a transfer associate’s degree from your community college.

MAPPs are available for many of the most popular majors at ASU.

To be eligible for the Maricopa-ASU Pathways Program, you must:

• Eligibility for participation in the ASU Tuition Commitment program for Arizona residents.

• Be currently enrolled at a Maricopa Community College.

• Be able to transfer to Arizona State University in the next three years.

• Merit scholarships available for students who complete their MAPP with a 3.75 GPA or higher.

• Transfer advisement and preenrollment services by ASU transfer staff who visit your community college.

Make an appointment with an advisor at your community college. Your community college advisor will explain the MAPP terms and requirements and sign you up for a MAPP.

• Know your intended major.

Student benefits: • Guaranteed admission to ASU degree programs.

• Cost-effective pathway ensuring that all of your courses transfer and apply to your ASU degree.

For more MAPP information, please visit: maricopa.edu/alliance

Go where you can maximize your success.

Western International University (West) can help you complete your bachelor degree with: • Transfer credit of your associate degree from Maricopa Community Colleges towards

Think Red & Blue

Applying to the University of Arizona

The University of Arizona application accomplishes three things in one. The application is for admissions, scholarships, and your application for the Honors College. You can apply online, or print a paper application at http://admissions.arizona.edu/transfer/transferapplications.

Once you have completed the application, you can pay the nonrefundable application fee of $50 for residents or $65 for non-residents by check, money order, credit card, or eligible fee waiver. If you plan to pay the application fee by credit card, it is best to apply online.

To complete the application process, you need to submit official college transcripts from all colleges attended, and an official high school transcript if you are under age 22 at time of application. The application usually takes four to six weeks to process, so apply early.

To track the status of your application, create a MyUA account at https://arizonaug. askadmissions.net/vip/.

After you are admitted, you can take your next steps to enrolling at nextsteps.arizona.edu.

NAU Connection Student Nissa Hinman “Starting at a community college made sense to me because I wanted something flexible. I also wanted to make sure the business management degree was right for me before I spent a larger amount of tuition at a university. When I finished the classes I needed to transfer I found out that I could attend NAU without moving up to Flagstaff. This was very appealing to me so I met with the counselor for my program. She was very helpful in making sure that all my questions were answered and my transition process went smoothly.

The transfer programs were well planned out. I had also done my research on the program so I had an idea of what to expect and what was needed from me. You cannot expect someone else to do all the work for you, so the more you know coming into it the easier things will be.

This degree will be very beneficial because the classes have given me a lot of practice with situations I will face in the business world. We gave presentations and speeches in almost every class and we learned how to work together in group settings. I think my favorite part about this program is getting to have many of the same teachers for different courses. There is certainly something to be said for being greeted by your teacher by your first name the moment you walk into a classroom. It really makes you feel like your education is important.”

Academic Advising: COLLEGE TIMES UNIVERSIT Y TRANSFER GUIDE • SUMMER 2012

What you can expect and what is up to you

16

Academic advisement is a vital resource for students at every stage of their college education.

Truly effective advising is a partnership between advisors and students, both pre- and post-transfer.

In this collaboration, there are some fundamental responsibilities to consider…

Your advisor should: • Provide professional, friendly, and courteous service.

• Clearly communicate program requirements, institutional policies and procedures.

• Maintain a broad knowledge base and continuously work to keep up-to-date.

• Listen effectively, and ask questions to understand your needs.

• Provide appropriate referrals to campus resources.

• Work collaboratively with you to develop a clear and comprehensive educational plan (sometimes referred to as a program of study or a semester-by-semester plan).

• Encourage and guide you in defining and developing realistic goals.

• Help you explore your interests, abilities, and

goals as they relate to academic majors.

• Inform you about online resources for academic information and support services.

• Be realistically accessible to you: in-person, by telephone, e-mail, or web access, and respond to reasonable requests in a timely manner.

• Help you gain the ability to assume responsibility for your educational choices and achievements, and learn from your mistakes or setbacks.

• Maintain confidentiality in accordance with the institution’s policies and federal and state laws.

As a student, you should: • Meet with your advisor each semester (or as often as your college recommends) to discuss your progress. Depending on the size of your college and how much you are able to do on your own after initial visit(s), sometimes e-mail or phone advisement is more efficient.

• Come prepared. The first time you see an advisor, bring your placement test scores, unofficial transcripts from other institutions attended, and/or any documents you think may be helpful that are not already in your college’s computer system. If in doubt, call ahead

and ask what you should bring. For subsequent advisement sessions, bring degree check sheets, transcripts, and any other materials your advisor provided at prior meetings.

• Take notes during your advisement sessions.

Make sure you and your advisor are clear on any follow-up tasks you need to do.

• Use what you learn from your advisor to better help yourself. Advisors are teachers, and want to empower you to lead the way with your education. Work together on completing tasks and gathering information in order to become more self-reliant as a student. The advisor can assist you with more complex enrollment or academic issues, and you won’t need to wait for them to do things you can do on your own.

Still, you should feel free to double-check with your advisor if you are unsure about something.

• Ask questions, and honestly answer your advisor’s questions. Understanding each other builds trust in your partnership, which will support your overall educational experience.

• Research college and program information to increase your knowledge on requirements, policies, and procedures. Being informed will help you make good decisions and know what you need help with.

• Be engaged in the conversation and accept responsibility for your actions as a student. Your advisor wants you to succeed, but cannot make you succeed. Even if you are unsure of yourself or your goals, your advisor needs to know that you value your education and are ready to do your part.

Transfer FAQs

18

What does it mean to transfer?

In a basic sense, transferring is switching from one college to another (which occurs for many reasons), but college or university transfer usually refers to completing your first two years at a community college, then transferring to a university or four-year college to earn a bachelor’s degree. Community Colleges offer associate’s degrees (usually about 60 credits) and certificates (shorter programs) which include just lowerdivision (100 and 200-level) courses. Students transfer to universities or four-year colleges to complete about 60 upper-division (300 and 400-level) credits, and then graduate with a bachelor’s degree (usually about 120 credits total).

Associate’s and bachelor’s degrees comprise your undergraduate education. Programs beyond your bachelor’s degree are considered graduate education.

What are my transfer options?

There are many universities and four-year colleges to choose from, so start your research as early as possible—even before you start your first year at community college if you can. High school counselors, academic advisors at the colleges, and career services can help you explore program offerings at different institutions. Consider availability of your major and preferred degree, cost, convenience, family and housing needs, and whether you have a preference for online or in-person classes. Tours are available at most colleges, and can help you picture what to expect after you transfer. A couple of excellent websites for exploring transfer options are aztransfer.com and maricopa.edu/transfer.

What if I don’t know my major?

The sooner you decide on a major, or area of study, the more specific you can be when selecting your courses. While you are deciding on your major, consult an advisor and online transfer resources to choose some versatile general education courses that may apply to a lot of majors. Taking a course or two about a major you are considering can really help you think seriously about your career path. It might not seem worth it at the time, but think of it as an investment in your long-term career satisfaction. All ten Maricopa Community Colleges offer career services, such as assessments and internships, that can help you narrow down your options. For more information on Maricopa’s career services, go to: my.maricopa.edu/career-services

How long will it take me to complete a degree?

If you are attending college full-time, associate’s degrees take about two years to complete, and bachelor’s degrees take about four years (two in addition to your associate’s degree) to complete. If you need to take developmental classes for college-level math, reading, and English, repeat withdrawn or failed courses, or attend part-time, it takes longer. It is important to take only what you can manage successfully in order to avoid overloading, and save time and money in the long run.

What if I don’t know if I want to transfer to a university?

Research the careers which you are interested in to check the level of education each requires. Some professions require graduate degrees, while for others, an associate’s or bachelor’s degree is sufficient. If you are even considering transferring someday, it is wise to select courses that not only meet your associate’s degree requirements, but also fulfill or serve as prerequisites for university requirements.

How do I know if my classes sses will transfer?

The Course Equivalency Guide on aztransfer. ztransfer. com displays how courses transfer between en Arizona’s public institutions, along with providing much more transfer information. Note that at just sn’t because a course is transferrable, it doesn’t owever, mean it is applicable to your program. However, if you want to take a course just for personal onal enrichment, work-related support, or to explore an area of study, it is perfectly acceptable. Since out-of-state and private universities are not listed on the Arizona Course Equivalency Guide, it is harder to know for sure which classes will transfer. In order to get a rough idea of what will transfer and apply to your program, consult an advisor or admissions representative from the fourty year institution, work with your community college advisor, and refer to university e. catalogs and transfer guides as available.

Why are course numberss different at different colleges? leges?

Colleges and universities organize their course offerings differently, which can an sometimes be confusing. Based on the data ata in the Course Equivalency Guide and mandated ated by

state legislation, Arizona’s public colleges and universities worked together to develop a new course numbering system to facilitate course transfer in Arizona. This system is called SUN (Shared Unique Numbering). Learn all about SUN and how it can help you plan your education and ensure successful transfer of course credits at azsunsystem.com

When do I start the transfer process?

Submit your university application(s) online about a year before you plan to transfer. You’ll have a good chance of getting the classes you want and have ample time to get everything else done, such as providing transcripts, updating immunizations, deciding on housing plans, buying a parking permit, applying for financial aid, and attending transfer student orientation programs.

When you meet with an advisor at the community college to develop or check your semester-bysemester education plan, include notes on when to apply for your associate’s degree and when to apply for admissions to your transfer university in order to stayy on-track.
