The annual Transfer Articulation Conference sponsored by the Iowa Community College Arts and Sciences Administrators and the Iowa Regent Universities and hosted by the Liaison Advisory Committee on Transfer Students (LACTS). Links will be live on Friday, February 7, 2025.

ar·tic·u·la·tion (aar-ti-kyuh-lay-shn): the process of developing a formal agreement that identifies courses (or sequences of courses) at a "sending" institution that are comparable to, or acceptable in lieu of, specific course requirements at a "receiving" institution.

Successful completion of an articulated course assures the student and the faculty that the student has taken the appropriate course, received the necessary instruction and preparation, and that similar outcomes can be assured, enabling progression to the next level of instruction at the receiving institution.
