Articulation. Collaboration and partnership are key for the University, and we are focusing on how our collaborations will have the greatest impact for widening participation in the whole sector. We will continue to work with our Further Education College and university partners to identify new progression routes and develop mutually beneficial foundation/bridging courses to enable progression to year 1 or 2. We already run programmes where we are pleased to accept a number of HNC/HND qualifications for entry to our undergraduate degree programmes. A sample of these are at annex 2. We are currently engaging with Fife, West Lothian and Edinburgh Colleges to develop articulation routes, as well as with Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx University to seek articulation pathways for students from a non-traditional route into Medicine.
Articulation. Our partnership links with Universities continue to evolve, developing from traditional articulation models to integrated learner journeys, where students can seamlessly progress through Higher National college activity on to the next level within Stirling, Heriot-Watt and Strathclyde universities. In partnership with the University of Stirling, we continue to deliver four very strong integrated degree programmes in Applied Biological Sciences; Heritage and Tourism; Digital Media and Computing Science. Unlike traditional articulation arrangements, these are wholly integrated tertiary programmes, jointly designed, developed and delivered by the University, College and industrial partners. Students are Associate Students of the relevant University from the beginning and, while they undertake their HND in College, they benefit from a wide range of enhancement activities, including workplace visits, guest lectures, visits to the University for joint lectures, seminars and practical activities. In terms of wider student life, most of the students on these programmes stay in the University Halls of Residence and participate fully in student life. Data from the University of Stirling shows that participation from students from MD40 is higher on our integrated programmes compared to other under-graduate provision, evidencing that the integrated degree programmes are widening access. We also continue to work in partnership with Heriot Watt University on the MEng Chemical Engineering and with the University of Strathclyde’s Engineering Academy on their BEng Chemical Engineering. In addition to these Associate Student articulation arrangements, we also have around 122 formal articulation agreements, with guaranteed places, in a wide range of subject areas with University partners across Scotland. We are working to grow this further by progressively enhancing our work with existing HN students to raise aspirations and support articulation transition, although the year-on-year numbers are difficult to predict accurately, as they depend very much on HN students’ individual interests and circumstances. The College will continue to work with University partners to maintain existing articulation agreements and to increase the number of identified articulation routes available to learners, and will seek to maximise the benefit of articulation agreements by timely and targeted communication of all relevant articulation opportunities to learners. Early communication of articu...
Articulation. GCU is a leading university for attracting students from college, with significant numbers of entrants joining Levels 2 and 3 with advanced standing. We are committed to providing an excellent University experience for articulating students, supported by academic staff, School‐based learning development centres, central support services and the Students’ Association. In 2013‐14, GCU exceeded its articulation target and in 2014‐ 15 GCU has 1,000 articulating students, including the 157 additional articulation places awarded by SFC. Our initial evaluation of the Additional Articulation Places Scheme also shows that while 76% of respondents indicated that they intended to progress to degree study at GCU when they commenced their HN study this figure had risen to 95% about one year into their HN study. Furthermore, 42% of respondents viewed themselves as a part‐college / part‐university student, suggesting that GCU’s approach has promoted a sense of learning pathways. GCU is committed to maximising opportunities for guaranteed progression from colleges through Articulation Agreements, whilst also ensuring that articulation places are available for students not coming directly from college. We play a key role in creating new articulation routes, for example the new pathway for Nursing and an Indie Games Development programme designed with college partners and Creative Skillset UK. Having successfully mainstreamed articulation across the University, we aim to maintain a leading position for articulation, as part of our wider agenda on promoting inclusive opportunities. We will work in partnership with the SFC, universities and colleges on initiatives such as the National Articulation Database, the Glasgow Curriculum Review and the evaluation of the Additional Articulation Places Scheme. Retention and student support GCU performs strongly in retention indicators and, coupled with high proportions of widening access students, this demonstrates our success in identifying and removing barriers to retention and student success.

Articulation. The CCC ADT will be articulated by the AICCU-PIs at the degree level to comparable AICCU- PI majors. AICCU-PIs will publish transfer information for the CCC Transfer Centers. Students awarded an Associate in Art for Transfer (AA-T) or Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) and accepted for admission in a similar AICCU-PI program will enroll at that AICCU-PI at junior standing, and require no more than 68 additional semester units and 102 additional quarter units at AICCU-PIs to complete a bachelor’s degree within the similar program. High unit majors and additional campus-specific courses or requirements that an institution requires for graduation by all undergraduate students, and that would not otherwise be considered an educational requirement at a public institution shall be exempt from the unit cap.
Articulation. With respect to students wishing to complete their education at WGU, WGU will: 1) provide CCCCO with the major preparation requirements for each of WGU’s majors, and 2) initiate/continue major preparation articulation agreements, to the extent feasible, with all CCCs. CCC Associate Degrees for Transfer (AA-T/AS-T) will also be articulated by WGU at the degree level to comparable WGU majors. WGU will publish transfer information for the CCC Transfer Centers. Students awarded an Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T/AS-T) and accepted for admission in a similar WGU program will enroll at WGU at Junior standing, and require no more than 60 additional semester units at WGU to complete a bachelor’s degree within the similar program.
Articulation. The Conservatoire’s proportion of Scots-domiciled undergraduate entrants recruited with HN qualifications over the last 4 years is as follows: Year Number with HNC %age of intake Number with HND %age of intake Total %age of intake 2012/13 28 20 14 10 42 30 2013/14 26 21 13 11 39 32 2014/15 16 11 12 8 28 20 Typically, HN entrants join year 1 of their Conservatoire programme. We recognise that that extends the learner journey but we believe (as do our applicants/students) that it is in our HN entrants’ own interests to do so. We begin to create a cohesive and creative learning and artistic community from day 1 and our students co-create (and develop in) that unique environment over a programme’s entire duration. Because of the potential to disrupt the cohesion of the learning community and also because it would be overly challenging for a student to locate and develop her/his artistic personality in a foreshortened timescale it is, generally, not possible to introduce students into that environment beyond year 1. We do, however, on a case by case basis, accept applicants into our programmes through Recognition of Prior Learning, but only in exceptional circumstances Although the Conservatoire does not offer articulation (except on an ad hoc an individual basis), we do engage with the college sector in a number of ways, most notably through our leadership of the Scottish Drama Training Network (SDTN). The Network (which comprises 16 institutions) has proven to be effective in promoting sectoral cohesion and in promoting the sector to its stakeholders, including industry and the secondary school sector. Although subject to a decline in the current year, over the piece, the Conservatoire has significantly increased its intake of home-based HNC and HND students over the past four years. We believe that that is directly related to the success of the Network and the Conservatoire’s leadership role in it. The Conservatoire’s Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching in Higher Arts Education, which has had a transformational impact internally, is now available to students from elsewhere and, in session 2014/15, 2 students were recruited from the college sector (Inverness College and Edinburgh College). We intend to build on that level of recruitment and we anticipate that the programme will make a significant contribution to the enhancement of learning and teaching in and for the performing arts in the college sector. We also work with partners in the colleg...
Articulation. NECSS programs and services shall be articulated with other area career and technical programs and services provided through business and industry, elementary school districts, and private schools to provide an effective network of area programs and services. Articulation between participating elementary and high school districts and the college will provide for: • Program alignment and continuity for career development in occupational areas where NECSS programs are offered; • Transition of students from one level to another in occupational areas without unnecessary delay or duplication of effort; • Cooperation in joint use, where possible, of facilities, equipment, and staff; and • Cooperative efforts in continuous planning development resource use, evaluation, and improvement of programs to serve both youth and adults as well as the area’s economic development needs.
