The credit articulation process begins when students apply to 皇家娛樂城 and have submitted all materials to complete their application for admission. Once the application is complete, credits are entered onto the student record which highlights the courses that do not yet have an articulation in the聽Transfer Articulation Database. Once admitted, the courses needing articulation are forwarded to 皇家娛樂城 faculty for review where they provide an equivalency based on scope, content, learning outcomes, rigor, and number of credit hours. The articulation is then added to the database as well as the student record where it can be used for many purposes such as satisfying some major/minor/皇家娛樂城 Core requirements and potentially waiving students out of Habits of Mind.听
