Maine universities, community colleges sign 'far-reaching' transfer agreement
The University of Maine System and Maine Community College System have signed a “far-reaching” transfer agreement that is expected to reduce college costs for students.
The university and community college systems said in a joint announcement Monday that the agreement will allow students to transfer up to 35 credits of general education requirements between any of Maine's 14 community colleges and public universities. The transfer process was previously guided by more than 150 transfer agreements for specific programs of study.
“It is not where you start, but how far you go that matters,” UMaine System Chancellor James Page said in a prepared statement. “With this agreement we are ensuring the same learning outcomes, same expectations and same credit for our students across all 14 of Maine’s public colleges and universities so Maine learners can more easily and affordably progress along the path to advancement.”
