Nursing is an example of an AAS degree that has additional courses added to assist with articulation and transfer. AAS degrees do not include all general education requirements needed for the degrees to be transferable.

General Education Certificate of Completion

If you complete all general education requirements but not an AS or AA degree at SLCC, you will have completed the lower-division general education requirements for a bachelor’s degree at Utah’s public colleges and universities, and Westminster College.

You should request that a General Education Certificate of Completion from the Graduation Office be sent with your transcripts to your transfer school.
