Pennsylvania Transfer and Articulation Center (PA TRAC) provides a seamless statewide transfer and articulation system. It also requires Pennsylvania’s 14 community colleges and the 14 universities in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) to adopt mandatory equivalency standards for the purpose of creating at least 30 hours of foundation courses that can be easily transferred to any of the participating institutions (see list below), and to establish an electronic portal for providing public access to transfer information.

Students who successfully complete courses from the approved Transfer Credit Framework can transfer those credits to any of the participating colleges and universities and have them count towards graduation.  Interested students should visit PAcollegetransfer.com

Participating Institutions

In accordance with the Perkins statewide articulation agreement between CCBC and Secondary schools with PDE–Approved Career and Technical Education Programs of study, CCBC will award college level credits to students who complete the secondary school Program of Study and meet all the student criteria, including submittal of proper documentation, as outlined in the Agreement.

CCBC credit opportunities available through this initiative may be found at www.collegetransfer.net.

Upon submittal of the required documentation, CCBC will abide by credit validation mechanisms as identified in the PDE articulation agreement with respect to admissions, college preparedness, award of credit, and time limitations. Additionally, students must enroll for and successfully complete a minimum of 15 credits of program coursework at CCBC in order to have the articulated credits placed on their transcript.

During the admissions process, any student who desires to receive articulated credit should contact the CCBC Perkins Postsecondary contact in the College’s counseling office or counselingoffice@ccbc.edu, prior to registering for their first semester.  The Perkins contact will coordinate the student’s submittal of the necessary documentation and forward to the registrar’s office for authorization.

Articulation agreements are formal agreements between CCBC and certain four-year colleges and universities that ensure that credits from your Associate degree program will transfer. Several even guarantee direct acceptance at junior level status while others allow you direct transfer of many courses.

Contact the Counseling Office for additional help with transferring after graduation.
