                                Senate Document #28



                                  EC Document #4



                     Policy for Developing Transfer Agreements

                     Between Accredited Two-year Institutions

                                 and UNC-Asheville







        1.  The Chancellor and other appropriate representatives of this

            Institution should make every effort possible to develop

            transfer agreements between UNC-Asheville and accredited

            two-year institutions.  



        2.  Current and future agreements are to specify transfer 

            equivalencies in General Education; program requirements; and

            general electives.  



        3.  As a general principle, work at two-year institutions should 

            not be transferred as equivalent to 300 or 400 level courses at

            UNC-Asheville.  Exceptions to this principle are to be clearly

            specified in an appendix to each agreement after consultation

            with departments offering those courses.  



        4.  The determination of course equivalencies is to be done in 

            consultation with faculty representatives from appropriate

            departments.  Beyond this determination, transcripts of

            transferees from two-year institutions with whom UNC-Asheville

            has a formal agreement would be processed as part of the

            regular admissions procedure.  Unusual cases and exceptions

            would be discussed with appropriate department chairmen.  



        5.  The APC and the Admissions Committees are to be kept informed 

            of academic progress of students transferring to UNCA as a

            result of these agreements.  



        6.  Initial agreements and any revisions are to be reviewed by the 

            APC and Faculty Senate for faculty opinion and recommendations.

            These recommendations are forwarded to the Vice Chancellor for

            Academic Affairs for his review.  He will in turn summarize his

            own recommendations and comments in a memorandum to the

            Chairman of the Senate.  In addition, the Vice Chancellor for

            Academic Affairs will forward to the Chancellor a copy of this

            summary along with the Senate recommendations and the minutes

            of the Senate meeting in which these recommendations were

            discussed.
