Many of the agreements are for associate of applied science degree programs. These agreements are designed to identify the maximum number of transferable credits that can be completed at SCC, as well as the courses remaining upon transfer. Each agreement includes contact information for advisors who can assist you in the transfer process. For a complete list of agreements go to www.southwesterncc.edu/transfer.
