What is an Articulation Agreement?
Articulation agreements, (also known as "Degree Completion Programs") are formal agreements between two post-secondary institutions that define eligibility criteria, transfer credits to be awarded, and credits required for completion of a specific degree program.
If you are applying to Trent under the terms of an articulation agreement, course descriptions are not required.
