Transfer Students

How does my Associate of Arts (AA) fit in?
Graduates of the Florida community college system who have earned an Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree should contact the JU Office of Admissions for details about the JU/Florida Community College articulation agreement and the transfer of community college credit. In most cases, the Florida community college A.A. curriculum satisfies JU’s general education or core curriculum requirements.

For the articulation agreement to be in effect, the A.A. must have been completed and awarded prior to the first day of classes for that student.
