Articulation: the process of determining the transfer and applicability of courses from
one institution of higher education
to another.
Course Equivalency Guide: shows how community college courses transfer to the
three state universities. It also has many equivalencies among the three state universities. It does NOT indicate how a course transfers to a specific degree program.
Course equivalencies are "year specific" meaning that in order to see if course work
will transfer, you must review the Course Equivalency Guide for the year in which
you took the course.
Course Prefix: generally three or four characters identifying a department or division
in which a course is taught (example: SOC is commonly used for Sociology courses)
Prerequisites: a course that must be completed prior to taking a subsequent course.
SUN#: the Shared Unique Number (SUN) System identifies some of the transferable
lower-division courses commonly offered at the three Arizona public universities and
at least two Arizona community colleges. The system ensures that a SUN course at a
participating institution will be accepted as a direct equivalent to the comparable
SUN course at the other participating institution.
