The Associate of Arts (A.A.) college transfer program prepares students to transfer to a four-year college or university to earn a baccalaureate degree in such areas as education, English, prelaw, history, business administration, psychology or social work. With the help of an academic advisor, the student will plan a program of study to meet the requirements of the college to which the student wishes to transfer based on the program guidelines below.

• Associate of Arts Transfer Degree
• Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences Transfer Block
• General Education and Business Transfer Block
• Early Childhood, Elementary, and Special Education Transfer Block

There are additional A.A. transfer options. Students should discuss which is right for their eventual goals with both their TCL academic advisor as well as with the four-year institution to which they plan to transfer.

Students applying to the Associate of Arts (AA) program must supply the following documentation before registering for courses:

• An official copy of high school transcripts or Graduation Equivalency Diploma (GED) transcripts.  A certificate of completion will not be accepted as as substitute for a high school diploma or GED.
• All candidiates for the AA degree must take the COMPASS/ASSET placement evaluation unless they have official college transcripts with a "C" or better in College Algebra (MAT 110) and English Composition I (ENG 101).
• Official transcripts must be sent from the issuing college/school directly to the Admissions Office at TCL via the mail.
• A copy of the high school or GED transcript, COMPASS/ASSET placement evaluation, and/or college transcripts must be at the TCL Admissions Office before a student can register.  Student lacking these requirements may register as career development students but will not be admitted into the AA program until all requirements are met.
