Any exception to articulate fewer than 60 credits toward PSU degree requirements must be approved by academic leadership of the Penn Highlands Community College and Penn State Altoona. Program-to-program transfer guides outlining the specific course equivalencies and approved substitutions for each academic program are included in the agreement. The guides were developed in consultation with Penn Highlands Community College and Penn State disciplinary faculty and are included as Addendum \u2587. \u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587\u2587 not specified in Addendum A, including those offered at other Penn State college and campuses are not covered by the terms of this agreement. Therefore, students admitted under this agreement who seek to enter a major at another Penn State college/campus, would be evaluated based on the advanced standing admissions criteria of that college and campus. Specific course transferability and equivalency, presented in Addendum B were determined by disciplinary faculty and are communicated through transfer course tables maintained by Penn State\u2019s Undergraduate Admissions Office in the student information system. Penn Highlands Community College courses evaluated as equivalent to Penn State courses or approved as general credit within a discipline, with grades of C (2.0) or higher, will be added to the student\u2019s Penn State academic transcript by the Undergraduate Admissions Office. Transferability of courses not specified in the program-to-program guides will be reviewed by the Undergraduate Admissions Office on a case-by-case basis. Syllabi are required to support all course evaluations. Courses evaluated as general requirements were reviewed by the Penn State faculty in the discipline of the course and in some cases, were applied as substitutions for specific degree requirements. The curriculum transfer guides, in effect at the time a student first enrolls at Penn Highlands Community College, will be honored by Penn State if the student completes an AA or AS degree program named in the agreement and successfully transfers to Penn State Altoona within four years of their first enrollment at Penn Highlands Community College, i.e., for students admitted in fall 2024 the agreement will be honored until spring 2028. Courses/credits earned through Advanced Placement (AP), College-Level Examination Program (CLEP), or other testing programs will be evaluated according to Penn State\u2019s established criteria. Credit evaluation for prior learning activity, for example military education experience and credit by portfolio will be assessed according to Penn State policy and through the process established by Penn State Altoona.", "samples": [{"hash": "9waoe30eJfV", "uri": "/contracts/9waoe30eJfV#academic-programs", "label": "Memorandum of Agreement Regarding Articulation", "score": 33.4917678833,
