Well I will be getting my A.A. from a florida college and supposely we are guaranteed admission in state universities but I wonder if schools also use factors such a volunteer work and extracurricular activities in order to get in. I am really not involved in anything. Has anyone gotten in with an A.A w/o having extra things and just have your admission be based on academics and/or just the fact you got an A.A?|||Advantages of Completing Your AA Degree
Research has shown that students transferring with an Associate in Arts (AA) degree from a community college increase their chances of completing a four-year Bachelor's degree with a higher grade point average. The State of Florida through the Statewide Articulation Agreement (State Board of Education Rule 6A-10.024) assures that students who graduate from Florida community colleges with an AA degree are guaranteed certain rights:
Admission to one of the eleven Florida State Universities, except to limited access programs*.
Acceptance of at least 60 semester hours by the state universities.
No additional General Education Core requirements.
Transfer of equivalent courses under the Statewide Course Numbering System.
Acceptance of credits earned in accelerated programs (e.g., CLEP, AP, Dual Enrollment, Early Admission, International Baccalaureate, and AICE).
With the AA degree, only the most recent final grades in repeated courses will be used in computing the GPA. Without the AA degree, no forgiveness is honored and all attempted credits are averaged into your GPA for admission purposes.
Equal opportunity with native university students to enter limited access programs.
Advance knowledge of selection criteria for limited access programs.
Adherence to the university requirements and policies, based on the catalog in effect at the time the student first enters a community college, provided the student maintains continuous enrollment.
Should any guarantee be denied, students have the right to appeal (see The Appeals Process section of the Transfer Handbook). Each state university and community college shall make available established appeal procedures through the respective articulation officers.
*Limited access is the designation given to programs that require additional admission requirements, which are more selective than general admission requirements. These additional admission requirements may include the following: increased total GPA and test scores; additional courses and prerequisites; and auditions or portfolios. In such programs, selection for admission is competitive. The selection and enrollment criteria for limited access programs have been established and are published in the institutions' catalogs, counseling manuals, and other appropriate publications, Community College AA transfer.
State University System of Florida
The State University System (SUS) of Florida is composed of eleven public universities. Ten of them offer Baccalaureate and selected graduate degrees. New College of Florida, the eleventh and newest university, is an honors college that offers a Bachelor's of Arts degree with concentration in a variety of discipline areas. Information on the majors offered by each of the individual universities is available directly from their admissions offices. For additional transfer information, click here.
Independent Colleges and Universities of Florida
Florida's Communities Colleges have an articulation with the Independent colleges and Universities of Florida (ICUF). The agreement guarantees the community college AA degree students will enter as juniors, receive at least 60 credit hours toward their Bachelor's degree, and receive recognition for the General Educational Core taken at the community college.
