These agreements outline which AACC credits will transfer to specific schools, and often specify the guidelines for a seamless transfer of your AACC credits.

- Meet with a transfer advisor: Getting guidance from a counselor or advisor dedicated to helping students transfer to four-year colleges can be invaluable. They will understand the transfer process, have up-to-date knowledge of transfer agreements, and provide advice on which courses to take to ensure their seamless transfer.

- Use online transfer evaluation systems: Many universities have online resources where you can check if your completed classes would be accepted for credit at the four-year degree level.
