In order to facilitate and improve the transfer process for our mutual students, DCCCD and TWU hereby enter into the following agreement:
DCCCD students who follow the recommended program of study – the common core and transfer curriculum, and who meet all other admissions requirements shall be eligible for admission to TWU. Transfer students must meet the same standards and criteria for admission to a major degree sequence as a native TWU student.
TWU and DCCCD will jointly develop Transfer Guides, Transfer Admission, and Course Equivalency Guides, utilizing both TWU and DCCCD numbers for all majors offered at TWU. By creating these guides TWU and DCCCD assure students that courses listed in these guides are freely transferable between TWU and DCCCD.
Representatives from TWU and the DCCCD will meet or make contact during August of each year to update course equivalencies, transfer guides and transfer admission information to be used the subsequent academic year.
A student transferring to TWU under this agreement shall have acceptance of academic credit hours earned at DCCCD, with the following condition that the curricular and general conditions be met:
- Transfer students will receive academic credit for transferable college level courses only completed with a grade of "C" or better. Remedial and developmental courses will not be accepted in transfer.

Note: Remedial/developmental or technical/vocational courses will not be included for transfer in this General Articulation Agreement from DCCCD colleges unless specified by individual colleges in a Program-to-Program Articulation Agreement.
