Comprehensive Articulation Agreement

The Comprehensive Articulation Agreement. 

A revised CAA went into effect in Spring 2026. Key updates to this version of the CAA include:

• Clearly defined student protections such as the General Education Waiver, acceptance of CAA coursework with grades of C- or higher, junior-level transfer, and the Transfer Assured Admissions Policy.
• The creation and use of Transfer Guides, formally known as Baccalaureate Degree Plans.
• An online Transfer Student and Credit Appeals Portal for students to submit appeals.
• Expansion of CAA compliance reviews to include both UNC institutions and community colleges to ensure all participants are upholding the pillars of this important agreement.
• An emphasis on the value of the ACA 122: Transfer and Career Success course, and the benefits it affords to community college students when completed in their first semester.

The CAA applies to the Associate in Arts (A10100) (AA) and the Associate in Science (A10400) (AS) degrees only.
