General Education

Students planning to pursue transfer to a four-year university should complete a Transfer Agreement to an Alabama university (or contact the transfer institution if out of state for transferability guidance) to ensure transfer readiness and satisfaction of course and program requirements. Talk with your Calhoun advisor and complete an official transfer agreement to guarantee your program of study for transfer is correct. Visit Alabama Transfers for the accurate class selection.
