Motivated students drop out of University System of Georgia (USG) institutions for a variety of reasons. One of the reasons often given is that some, or all, of the credits they earned at one USG Institution do not transfer to another. The USG acknowledged this problem and corrected it for Technical College System of Georgia (TCSG) to USG institution credit transfers in January of 2012 under the "Complete College Georgia Articulation Agreement." While this was a step forward, for many students in Georgia, there remains work to do. The Department of Criminology at the University of West Georgia has explored a variety of options regarding articulation. Those experiences will be shared and strategies for others moving forward will be discussed.
