Bookmarks If you are currently attending a community college in Arizona, there is an entire Arizona Transfer Model with which you should become familiar. This model includes agreements between the public community colleges and universities in Arizona. Below you will find links to some of the "tools" that you should find immediately useful. One of the many advantages of this model is the amount of information available to students regarding the transferability of courses from the Arizona community colleges to the universities. This information can be found in the Arizona Course Applicability System or CAS. If you have questions or comments about the Arizona Transfer Model or CAS, be sure to let us know: Darrelle.Martin@nau.edu
A very valuable tool that you will find in CAS are Transfer Guides. If you know the major in which you plan to enroll in at NAU (or another state university) and you are attending an Arizona community college, the corresponding transfer guide will provide you with the list of courses that transfer directly into your university major. Visit our Transfer Guide Information page for more information and how to access them.
Briefly, the AGEC is one way to complete your general education requirements. NAU encourages students who begin their general education course work at NAU to complete it at NAU. Likewise, those students attending Arizona community colleges and begin the AGEC, are encouraged to complete this block of 35 credits at the Arizona community college (although it is not required.) These courses transfer to any Arizona public university and fulfill lower-division general education requirements. Additionally, Arizona residents who complete the AGEC before applying to NAU are eligible for admission.
Another tool in CAS is the Course Equivalency Guide (CEG). To access the CEG, go to the AzCAS homepage at http://az.transfer.org/cas/ and click the "Course Equivalency Guide (CEG)" link on the left-hand side of the page. You will be taken to the CEG homepage. Choose the appropriate community college, then choose a prefix (discipline) from the list that will be given to you. Scroll through the list of courses to view the university equivalencies for your course(s). The CEG will give you information about how a course will transfer into NAU. The CEG will not always give you the best information about how your transfer courses will apply to major(s) or minor(s). The information in CAS is not a substitute for an academic advisor. It should be used in conjunction with your academic advisor at the community college and/or at Northern Arizona University. Are you transferring from a four year Arizona school or an out-of-state institution? Visit NAU's Undergraduate Admissions Transfer Student page. Are you an international student? For more information on international student transfer, please visit the website of the NAU Center for International Education Office. Help: Students can find contact information at the AZ CAS Homepage. Students should refer to the Advising Contacts page under "Find an Advisor" to get advising help using CAS, or click on the Helpdesk page to get technical help.
