Dallas County Community College District

Statement of Purpose

Dallas County Community College District (DCCCD) – specifically the following DCCCD campuses: Brookhaven, Cedar Valley, Mountain View, and North Lake – and Teas A&M University Biomedical Science (BIMS) hereby agree to an educational partnership to create a seamless transfer process for students transferring the DCCCD's Associate degree into Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Science Program at Texas A&M. The Associate degree must be granted by any one of the 4 DCCCD colleges specified earlier in this passage.

Terms and Conditions

In order to establish and facilitate the transfer process for our mutual students, we agree to the following:

• DCCCD students who follow the recommended program of study – 67 credit hours specified in the 2+2 Articulation Agreement – and who meet all other admissions requirements will be automatically admitted into the Texas A&M Biomedical Science program.
• DCCCD and BIMS will jointly develop transfer guide(s), transfer admission and course equivalency guides, utilizing both DCCCD and Texas A&M course numbers, or the Texas Common Course Numbering System. By creating the transfer guide(s), DCCCD and Texas A&M assure students that courses listed in these guides are freely transferable between DCCCD and Texas A&M.
• Representatives from DCCCD and Texas A&M will meet or make contact to exchange course catalogs and update course equivalencies, transfer guides and transfer admission information to be used the subsequent academic year.
• A student transferring to Texas A&M under this agreement will have definite admission and acceptance of DCCCD academic credit hours, with the following conditions:
  1. 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.
  2. The student must have a cumulative DCCCD GPA of 3.6 for admission to Texas A&M.
  3. Transfer students must enroll in a minimum of 12 credit hours each semester.
  4. Texas A&M will accept a total of 67 transfer credit hours from DCCCD.

Agreement Continuation and Dissolution

This pilot agreement is committed for 5 years and commences Fall 2004. The DCCCD, College of Veterinary Medicine Dean, or their designees must approve amendments to this agreement.
