97-01-16 OSU-CSCC Articulation Agreement Expanded

                          NEWS ADVISORY:
  OHIO STATE TO COMPLETE TRANSFER AGREEMENT WITH COLUMBUS STATE 
                        COMMUNITY COLLEGE

     E. Gordon Gee, president of The Ohio State University, and 
Valeriana Moeller, president of Columbus State Community College, 
will sign a transfer articulation agreement in a ceremony at 
Columbus State on Wednesday, Jan. 22.  The new agreement replaces 
and enhances a 1989 agreement.  

     The articulation agreement concludes more than a year of 
work at both institutions.  The agreements spell out which 
courses at Columbus State will be accepted for credit and will 
apply to degree requirements at Ohio State.  

     The enhanced agreement offers two new options that empower 
students who are transferring: an admissions guarantee and a dual 
degree provision.  Nearly 3,000 Columbus State students have 
transferred to Ohio State since the 1989 agreement was enacted.

     The agreement is based on the principles of the Ohio 
Articulation and Transfer Policy adopted by the Ohio Board of 
Regents.   That policy encourages cooperation among state 
supported universities and colleges and supports policies to ease 
the student transfer process.

     The agreement will be signed at a ceremony from 1:30-3:00 
p.m., in room 118, the Board of Trustees Room, Franklin Hall, 
Columbus State Community College. Refer to map on back of this 
advisory. Participants will be available for questions following 
the ceremony.

For more information on the ceremony, contact Amy Murray, Office 
of University Communications, 292-8385.
